Default Next Power Mods...

Looking for a next cheap 2-3 hundred $ mod for the S, not too sure as to what the options are at this point.

- Tip Chip (already done the 00032 coding)

- Looking maybe to add the XR program to my X, not sure on the cost.

- Custom exhaust by myself (cat back)

- Some sort of custom hybridding the k03's with new wheels, etc..

Any other ideas or suggestions on these? Estimated gains? I have access to a shop full of tools and what not, to be done by myself and probably a buddy.

TIA!

Default I'd say exhaust(but just buy one used or from a tuner) and Tip chip first.

I don't know about running XR files on Tips, although I may be giving it a try soon.

300$+ extra bucks is almost a month of waiting... Tip chip- Worth a month's extra dollar vs. other?

Default I picked up my catback 2 years ago with 2k miles on it for 250;)

If I were you I'd just pick one up used for the same amount it's gonna cost for a custom fab. But that's just me. I did Tip chip at the same time as my ECU chip, so I can't really tell u how big of a performance gain you'll get shift wise. BUT it's definately quicker shifts which will just help prolong the life of your tranny, especially if you're thinking about XR and bigger turbos. But it's definately not "super bike shifting" or whatever if claimed by AWE.

Default Not to sure, I gotta have a chat with Moss...I'd like to try it out before possibly purchasing it..

I also want to see how the TIP handles the power increase. Give Moss or AWE a call I suppose for pricing.

Tranny aside, any idea what numbers the XR claims over 91 X-chip?
