Installing LS6 intake, TPIS LT headers and X-pipe?
I've pretty much purchased these three bolt ons and I'm wondering what hp and tq gains I can look for once installed. I now have an A4 00 vert with MTI ram air and Corsa exhaust. Does anyone have or know any dyno #'s on any of these? Does an X-pipe add anything(hp, tq) to a C5? Thanks

Thanks, how about rwtq? I can't spin the tires w/o power braking. Do you think these extras will help this?

You mentioned that you have an A4 which gears do you have 2.73 or 3.15s? If you have 2.73s that would help explain why you can't spin your wheels. My A4 came with 3.15s and I could not spin my rear tires either when my car was stock unless I power braked it. In my case I believe my problem was torque management.

Thanks for the info. It's a 3.15. I've got an extra $300-$400 to spend on this round of installs. Can someone suggest where I could pick up the most hp for this budget? Car will have MTI ram air, Corsa exhaust, TPIS LTs, X-pipe, LS6 intake and ??????????($300-$400)? I'm not going to tune until I do h/c package. Thanks :cheers:
I'm installing this week any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Really could use some ones advise. What mod can I install with the others to add some hp for $400? I understand that this isn't big exciting 450rwhp talk but I'm trying to get to that point. Thanks

A Trans-go shift kit will help that automatic out a lot. And it is under your $400.00 range. You won't feel the horsepower, but you will feel the shift. :D
