Default TTschwing - Got a question for you

I'm new to this forum, but I've been reading the links for about a year now, and have seen some unbelievable cars. I've also noticed that many have asked you a multitude of questions. It seems like you are one of the most knowledgeable when it comes to TT mods.

I have a 2002 TT ALMS with an APR 93 chip and a K&N filter. I'll post a picture as soon as I get it cleaned over the weekend - it's been a little too cold in Northern VA to wash it.

I've been pondering which mods to get next - either a cat-back exhaust, install SAMCO hoses, or install a diverter valve. Which do you recommend I get and why? Also should I buy any used mod parts?

Regarding the exhaust, I want maximum HP increase with minimum cabin noise. And I don't want to sound like a 17 year old's Honda Civic! Which cat-back would you recommend and why?

Default Samco Hoses are always good insurance

especially if you are chipped. You don't want any hoses collapsing!They wont gat you a power increase, though. But they are cartianly woth it! Alos, they are easy to install....

I see you have the armrest. My ALMS came pre-wired with a hands free phone kit from AUDI. Will the cover for the armrest base accommodate the plug for the cell phone?

Default Exhuast

I got the APR exhuast. Has good flow but is pretty loud in the cabin. But has nice deep tone. Also where in Northern VA are you? I'm in Manassas

Thanks for your opinion. I'll probably get the hoses, either way. Especially since there is a sale at TTStuff.

Default Exhaust. Is your DV malfunctioning? No? Then leave it alone...

The exhaust will be one of the more noticeable improvements you can make to your car's level of performance, though not like the chip.

When you do, please let me know if the base cover for the armrest can accommodate the plug for the car phone.
