Hi all

I am your typical daily driver S4 owner (no mods). Currently, I have a 2000 stock tiptronic and considering upgrading to an aftermarket exhaust (with a chip in store sometime in the future).

Is this too unorthodox of an order or harmful to the engine performing an exhaust upgrade first than a chip upgrade? I don't need more HP right now but instead want to spice up the sound and looks of the S4. Too weird?

TIA

Nope. I did exhaust first before chip too. Just do it.

2nd, my first mod was exhaust. If anything, it's better for your turbo's.

nonetheless...do whatever you want to do first!

preludex

you mean better for turbos w/ exhaust only (sans chip)? thanks

If anything, it is better to do exhaust before chip IMO

New Exhaust will give you a few more HP. Chip is best bang for your buck.

Ran that way for 4 years, then went to chip.

I plan on suspension, handling and brake upgrades before I chip it.

oh yeah, it's been like that for about for the past 4 years


IMHO, an exhaust w/no chip isn't going to do really do anything -- BUT -- i think it "enhances" the experience sooo much... it sounds great..

when you take off the stock exhaust you'll see what i'm talking about

Down the road i may do more upgrades -- i think it's smart to get to know the car first before you start modding it.
