Default How long must I wait to start Mods

I will be picking up my 04 coupe A4 How long should I wait before I install a Varram system & 4 tip B&B Bullets? What do you guys think of this combo ??
About 1 month later I will have headers installed (LG Long Tubes ??)

I have 3.15 rear I am not sure if I should go to 3.42 or 3.73 w/Protrque 2400.I had the protrque 2400 w/3.42 on my last Vette and I loved it . :confused: :seeya :flag :party: :hurray: :hurray: :steering: :steering:

Wait??? How long do you want to wait to drive yoru car?? Just kidding Do your mods when you feel comfortable.

I did my mods when the car had 1100 miles. and 700 miles of that was driving to the guys who did the mods. Raleigh to Sarasota

If you consider the Valentine One a mod, I would buy it before I even got the car. Otherwise, I think that 10 minutes after signing the papers should be long enough. :D

do it NOW all together. long tube headers are good to get rid of those pre-cats if they still come on the car now. back in 2000 they did.

PLEASE do me a favor and DONT get a 2400 stall TC. thats the biggest waste of money ever. if ur gonna do a TC do at least a 3000 along with 3:42 gears at the same time. i bet u still wont be able to tell a difference with a 3000 until u smash the pedal WOT

I was shopping mods before I took delivery of mine and ordered rims and exhaust with 7 days, vararam within 30 days and now shopping for headers.

Don't wait, it will only slow you down! :cheers:
