JazX you're KILLING me with that sister machine gun stuff. I feel SOO old. I was out in LA last week with some of my old bandmates. We went out to dinner but never strapped on any guitars. Thank god!
How are the loopkits doing?

The main reason is that you gain a lot of throttle response, and gets much quicker around a race track (if you're into that). Figures aren't necessarily insane unless you get the titanium one, but around 20-25 hp extra for a naturally aspirated engine.
It won't sound ricey at all, in fact I think there are sound clips on the site.
Here's what my track ride sounds like now that its on... http://www.kreissieg-usa.com/vid…)
(although that's a cambiocorsa spyder, mine's the regular GT)

So the titanium will give you 20-25 hp at the wheels? I've heard about the better throttle response. The Ti is pricey. Worth it?
- jox0
No, the titanium gives, according to the specs, somewhere around 55 to 75 bhp on this particular car. (1999 3200 GT). I think it varies quite a lot between cars. I got a friend over at Eisenmann selling these exhausts, and they do M3's every week - I could ask if you want.
Yeah, it is kind of pricey but they seduced me with their demo car so I couldn't resist. Plus, I got a discount if I put their sticker at the back. ^_^

fack... i'm still waiting for my A3 to show up!
hey jox, any tips on pumping up teh 200 stock horsies on that thing with out breaking the bank?
- jox0
There are tons of easy ways. (I take it its the 2.0T FSI?) A chip and filter set you back 800 bucks tops, and gives you probably 260 hp?
Oh and may I add – wise choice. The A3 is gorgeous ^_^

.. I would recommend something but I don't have much experience with american tuners, although I've only heard good things about these guys
http://www.avalonmotorsports.com…They're in Colorado.

yup... the 2.0T FSI, we don't get the A3S until 2007 model over here.
hmm.. 800 bucks for an extra 60 ponies sounds like a good deal to me... that thing really moves as it is stock so i can only imagine what it would be like with that extra bit.
i'm dying over here without it... i drive by the dealership every night to see if she showed up yet... any day now!
- Tyrone0
HMM...That Ti sounds like a good option. I'll look into it. Any info you can get me Jox I would appreciate. You da man. Your Maserati looks dope. How does it handle? Fishy at the back?
2cents..nice choice on the A3... I like that car. Does it have the dula sunroof? Love that. I miss my S4.

boo... i'm in Canada :(
i'll have to do some research for a good audi tuner around here... i don't want some hack working on it.
if not, maybe a road trip to colorado is in order... i'll stay at jevad's!

oh yest Tyrone... that was a must have option!
- jox0
Although if I were you, I'd consider paying a little more for one of those plug n play tuning boxes. It's basically a little computer you plug into the can-bus connector and you -as funny as it sounds- upload a new driving program to the ECU– and you can change it back to normal in three seconds.
The reason why I think you should do this is that you probably don't want to fiddle too much when it's still under warranty. I've heard specifically that Audi of america can be sonsabitches if you're in for a warranty repair and you've done any ECU changes. This way you can unload your badass program before you take it in.

The Maserati handles like a dream. It's totally stripped, with roll cage and adjustable suspension and kickass Mov'it brakes. When I got it, it was a totalled wreck I got dirt cheap but after 6 months of fixing up, she's starting to come around quite nicely.
I'm shooting my buddy an email as we speak, hopefully I can get you the answer tomorrow if he responds in time.
