Welcome to the forums. It's probably a good idea to use the "search" feature and check out some threads on what people have done and go from there. Depending on how handy you are you can pretty much do any install yourself.

Are you looking at performance mod's or exterior, or both ?

If so, go get your ecu flashed and go from there.

Thanks for the information, any particular manufacturer in regards to having the ECU flashed or chipped?

faq, has almost everything out there, check that out for mods you can do. I would say get a chip and test pipe, best bang for the buck.

Randy (Quattro) chimed in already, so this is redundant. There is a link to the FAQ in his sig...

More importantly, did you take a picture of your computer screen or something to get your avatar?

I have an APR chip and I love/loved it. You can check it out at www.goapr.com

When i first joined audizine i always thought it was dumb that people were assholes to newbie posts about "hi im new what should i do?" Now i get it! Been here for a few months and theres a new one every week. lol. There needs to be a giant search button posted in the middle of the page if you have 1 ring so they wont post these anymore. I've never had to post a question since ive been here because almost everything has been answered somewhere on here.

Well three people have already said read the FAQ, which has all chip manufacturers and information about each one contained within it. Since he asked again about which manufacturers to look for, he probably didn't bother reading the FAQ after being pointed in that direction. If someone does not want to help themselves, so be it.

chill bro, no need to get worked up over somebody asking 2 questions.

I don't think anyone is worked up. Merely stating what we state every single week in the B7 forum. You aren't helping the cause.

THIS question is worth asking twice....
