Looking for a little advice
Okay so I have a 98 a4 with 3.15 gears. Blackwing cai and flowmaster cat-back.
1. Is it worth upgrading to 3.42 gears?
2. I'm looking for a set of headers and xpipe, what's the best deal without breaking the bank. Willing to look at used as well. Also how hard would this be to do on my own?
3. Would like to do a mild cam, what else would I need to upgeade with the cam? 243 heads? Ls6 or fast intake?
4. Is a mail order tune sufficient enough? Or do I need to take it somewhere.
5. Would like to not break the bank and learn and do as much as possible on my own thanks.
6.what brands and all would you guys recommend for any of these things?
7. Do I need to do any suspension upgrades? I beleive I have the z51 package!

2. Try used; ARH have popped up. New; either TSP or XSP. Not hard to do IMO, but I've installed a few pairs on my cars over the years.
3. Need? Nothing. LS6 intake and 243 heads would be great accompaniments however.
4. TSP or ECS MO tunes good IMO.
No need for suspension mods... do it if you feel you'd like improved handling.
