2.7t a6 c5 looking to spend about 1k in performance upgrades. ...chip- exhaust ..etc
what would you get for this $ ?best chip, exhaust, etc

chip is good for about 60-80 horsies at about 600-800 bux, good hp-to-$$$ ratio. dry air filter from ITG or Truflow about 50 bux. chip and exaust alone will pretty much eat up that budget and then some. be sure to fix the weak links in the engine first though.
