Welcome..I see it's your first post..
U will find differing opinions on every item that you are curious about, but I think the majority of members are using the BPP vortex which gives you the most bang for the buck as far as intake systems are concerned. Exhaust systems, again, differing opinions. I have the B&B triflo sports with an x pipe and TPIS headers.. If I had to it over again, I would probably get the corsa Indy's..U probably need to find some forum members in your neck of the woods and listen to some exhausts..Computer program, depends on your car..If you have a six speed, you probably don't need one..If you have an A4, the general consensus is the PowerLoader, but be forewarned, lots of customer service issues with the producer of this program...
