LG motorsports. Expensive, but from what ive seen, they yield the biggest gains and are very high quality. I am going to be purchasing some for my FI setup in the next couple months.

I was debating on their street series as well. I would like to know if there has been any numbers on their street series headers on an A4 platform.

You won't find any out there that make more power than the LG Pro LTs but they are expensive. If you don't mind trading off 5-6 hp or so to save roughly $400 take a look at the Dynatechs. They are copies of the LGs but with smaller merge collectors and exhaust piping.

LG Street if you dont care about the last ounce of hp you can get, Pro if you want it all.

In terms of power, probably the LG ones are the best, followed by Kooks. The Dynatech system is a good, quality system that offers decent gains at an affordable price. Just depends on what you are looking for and how much you are willing to spend.

I just installed LG Pros w/ cats myself this weekend on my A4 2.73 and with Borla Stingers, they kick butt!!! Mean when you get on it, but quiet if you take it easy on the go pedal. I'm getting a retune this weekend so I'll post back with my results. Trust, you won't regret going with the LGs.

I run Dynatech w/ hi-flow cats. Fit and finish is great and there was a GP on them a while back which made them about $500 less than the LG's. To make up for the HP difference between LG's and Dynatech, I skip breakfast and wear a lighter pair of shoes.
