Just saying hi and I have a few questions, I currently own a 2001 ws6 and was looking for some tips on how to improve the cars performance.

Not looking to spend a ton of money ( around $1000) and would love to get some good ideas if there are any out there thanks a lot for replying.

Welcome to the site! Two easy upgrades are subframe connectors and a lid for your air box. The SFC's tighten up your car considerably and the lid is good for an 8-10 hp boost by most accounts.

SLP lid, Long tubes and off road y pipe, replace the muffler, and get a tune form frost!!! Long tubes and y pipe will be the biggest cost but the most benifit with the frost tune.

also consider a good torque converter.

Welcome to the site. Some things that need to be known prior to suggestions:

Tranny type? Any current modifications to car? What type of smog inspection do you need to pass and whether you are looking for handling or acceleration mods or both...

If M6 or A4, first mods are usually sub-frame connectors, lid, long-tube headers (LT's) and exhaust. If on a budget, Pacesetter makes decent LT's at a good price. Magnaflow is an affordable nice sounding exhaust that many on here prefer. The lid is a lid and can be of any type, they all net the same performance gain. Most people like the SLP lid. Lastly, a mail order tune to liven the car up a bit once said mods are installed.
