Default $500 to blow, what should i get?

I have a 06 a6 with 6500miles, only mod done on the car is the B&B route 66's.
Got the car used with 4500miles dont know if a tune was already done on the car, it runs like a beast as it is, so dont know if a tune would help me.

So what performance mod would help me the most for $500?

Maybe a CAI, but if Rob and Joe install it for ya you'll need more $$
I have a K&N System.

Save up a little more to get a Vararam or Calloway Honker & a good tune.

I know..... The standard answer is Hookers & blow


$500.00 is not lot.... A K&N filter & change all the fluids to Royal Purple

I found a used Vararam for $275. I may just end up with getting headers and a tune. Maybe i can get lucky and find some used headers local. Figure headers and install with a tune would run around $2,300.

My personal opinion would be to leave it as is and blow it with your better half...

Sentimental, I know...

I agree--you can't do much with $500.
