Default What mods can I put on my B7 3.2 ?

Are there any exhaust or... really.. ANYthing for the 3.2 (2005.5) to boost performance?

(ya ya I know, I'm sure I'll get some "you shoulda got a 2.0 and chipped it" responses.)

thanks!

Default SpeedTuning has a chip that boosts it to 280 HP

I'm thinking about it, but not until I hit 10K miles and fully break in the engine.

Default yeah but...

It's 25 hp for a non-turbo engine! The 2.0t chips are what...$500 for 30-40 hp? I am somewhat skeptical of the 280 hp number to be honest -- that is a pretty big HP bump in just software for a naturally aspirated engine. I thought the chips for the 3.0 and the 4.2 only ended up adding like 10-12 hp. Maybe the larger increase has something to do with FSI?

To be honest I am completely happy with the stock 3.2, it's such a great engine...and I would hate to upset the smoothness, balance, and driveability. Only the bench racer in me wants the 280 ;-)

$350 for 20 hp is the bargain of the century!

Default agree completely Re: $350 for 20 hp is the bargain of the century!

I agree completely. I looked at chipping my B5 2.8, and basically I could pay ~$400-500 for perhaps 5-10 HP. If that is a true 25 hp for $350 on a NA engine, that sounds like a great deal.....
