I know the 2.0 is the one to mod, but can anyone recommend some bolt ons for my 3.2 (Air Intake, Exhaust, chip) Thanks

Man, the 3.2 is not the car to mod, a chip wont do anything, i havent seen any production exhausts, and a drop in k&n is a stupid idea.

Custom exhaust is the way to go. not sure about the intake but the exhaust note for v6 engine is way better than 2.0T without BT

I've seen an intake for the 3.2 (probably at purems.com), but the main effect is going to be noise. Exhausts for the B6 3.0 are said to work, and you can also find a few specifically for the 3.2.

I did coilovers, rear anti-sway bar, wheels/tires, and center diff. I'd recommend starting with the anti-sway bar. Depending on your wheels, do those (i.e. if you're on 17"s, consider 18") and some performance tires. Then coilovers. Finally, if you still want better handling and less understeer, get the STaSIS center diff mod.

The bottom line is that you have a decent engine that will probably be a lot more reliable than a highly-tuned 2.0T. Learn to appreciate that, and focus on mods to improve handling, sound, and appearance.

I drove a BMW 135i, today. It had a more compliant ride, but felt softer in the corners than my modded 3.2. I kind of think my ride sounds better and even has more off-the line torque.
