No such animal. Why, oh why, do you want a "nice loud exhaust"?

B5 S4's are 2.7 BI Turbo..

Default Whatever you do, don't do all the upgrades at once!

If something starts to not work correctly, you'll bever be able to isolate the problem.

I'd suggest buy a used exhaust and save the rest for turbo & tuning. Should work with your budget.

Default teehee.. you said bever =)

I think, well know this guy means well.. just needs some direction. AW is starting to suck because all the old guys just make fun instead of welcome and help. Good to see your still a good guy

OT:Any plans this winter for ICE Climbing ;0)

Cheers,
Joel

Default You'll want to keep $1000-$1500 on the side for "incase" money

a lot of the common hp mods are a chip($~400), a k04 turbo which is slightly larger than the stock k03($1500) or the apr stage 3($4500)

Check out <a href="http://www.goapr.com">APR</a> and <a href="http://www.awe-tuning.com">AWE Tuning</a> for more info on those kits. The <a href="https://forums.audiworld.com/a4/msgs/2299748.phtml"> FAQ</a> is also another great place for info

For an exhaust you might want to check out the local boards and maybe hook up with a couple people or stop by a get together to hear the different exhausts...its hard to describe in text what they sound like
