Default Ran out of things to do to my car

I have a 2.8 a6 and i ran out of things to do to my car. I was going to put a new exhasut system but you guys say there is really no true gains so im done with that. Any one have any ideas that would give me more HP not over $700.
Also would it be ok to put just new mufflers on for sound and maybe some nice tips. Or should i jsut go for the tips. If i ould go with the tips what brand have some nice cheap duriable tips.

Thanks all

Default just get some magnaflow 3" tips and a 2002+ bumper and call it a day

Superchargeris going to cost 4-5k and then you have to upgrade the brakes as well.

A new exhaust would be worthless.

But Borla and Magnaflow makes nice tips that can we welded onto your existing tips after you have the originals cut.

Good luck, seems to me like you really need a 2.7T

Default I did not see you mention that in your original post...

"I have a 2.8 a6 and i ran out of things to do to my car. I was going to put a new exhasut system but you guys say there is really no true gains so im done with that. Any one have any ideas that would give me more HP not over $700.

Where do you mention the intake again?

Anyway, if you click on Sontey's Links below, maybe you'll get some ideas. If I were you, I would get in on the proposed group buy on H-sports sway bars. You'll really appreciate the handling improvements, and they will cost less than $400, plus some of your time and energy to install. For more info, click on Stoney's Links below!

Fellow A6 2.8 owner. I feel your pain as a "red-headed step-child."
