Tires, cam, underdrive pulley, thermostat, MAF, lose the cats, gears, get your intake and TB ported, get a good tune.

After doing a Vararam, AR headers and a tune my 06 a6 really came alive.

Also you can go another step with the above mods and add a cam.

I have Headers/Cats and the Corsa Sport and there is drone around 1500 thru 1800. The headers wake up the Corsa some. I just went with 4.10 Differential now at 70 I am doing 1800 rpm, better for cruising above drone zone. No drone with just Corsa.

Default Heads/Cam

You've got a good set of heads on it already. If you port the heads and put a cam package together, you won't need better heads. Everyone has their favorite, but what you need to know is: What is your intended use and expectations--that opens the door to design specs.
