Please don't waste your money on either high flow cats or an x-pipe on an otherwise stock exhaust system. Both will see zero gains. Wait until you do headers, which come with both high flow cats and an x-pipe.
You might want to think about one of the best bangs for your buck - a Blackwing intake, a Halltech Stinger intake or a Vararam.
Your gas mileage should remain close to the same and you engine will wake up a bit when you put your foot in it.

In an ideal mod sequence... cam or converter first for us A4's?
This is assuming a full intake and longtubes have already installed. (my stock catback isn't going anywhere)

It all depends on your tolerance for "bad behaviour" - viz: non stock behaviour.
I would definitely suggest a stall with my Whiplash cam (or even Monster cam)

Hey Stephen !!!!!!!!!!!!
How are you doing ? I know you have probably been busy as a bee, Thanks for the whiplash cam, still sitting on the shelf, but still planning on you installing it along with the kit and stall converter. But I was wondering if you have sold anyone the ( EnglandGreen Insanity Cam™) yet ? cause I would really like to hear that bad boy.
But hopefully before much longer I will be giving you a call to set everything up so you can install my whiplash, Hope everything has been going well !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have sold 3 Insanity cams. The last one I sold went to the same customer that previously bought my Godzilla cam for his C5 Z06. It was a Procharger F1R 383ci forged engine and it made over 800rwhp with my Godzilla cam. He sold that car here on the Forum.
He now has a 2008 C6 Z06 and he installed my Insanity cam - stock heads, stock pulley, just long tube headers and intake on his LS7 and made - get this - 569rwhp all naturally aspirated. He is planning on twin turbos in the near future and we anticipate well north of 900rwhp.
That is 569rwhp from (essentially) a cam only install.
Oh yes - and at idle, the Insanity chops like a lumberjack!!
