Default Re: Great car! ... I bought one last summer......

Did you notice much change in the engine peformance with just the ITG intake? How about after adding the RS6 exhaust? The new springs and sway bars are first on my list of upgrades. Did you lower the car and how much. I have a set of 19" wheels on order and am worried about how much to lower the car if at all. Where did you get the ITG intake from? Thanks for all the help so far.

Do you have any contact information so I can inquire about the GAIC chips? Thanks for all the help.

Engine mods are a waste of time and money on the 4.2. Not a lot of room for improvement.

Move to a place that is not so hot and you will see an improvement in performance.
