Lets Hear Your A3 8V Top 5 Mods

[Envynot]

I'm curious as to what you guys think. I want to hear your top 5 mods for an 8V A3, and in what order YOU would get them in. Explanation for your choices are more than welcome ;). I was torn between a downpipe or coilovers for my 5th mod but seeing as my A3 has sport suspension I can be patient with the stance.

Mine would be as follows:

1. Stage 1 APR (more power yay!)
2. Aftermarket Exhaust (I like Billy Boat, burly sound)
3. Forged Performance Pistons (I'm very cautious and I've heard of stage 1/2 apr tunes cracking pistons and such so I'd rather not play with fate, this would offer peace of mind for sure )
4. Intake/Inlet Pipe (open up that boost plumbing, enhanced blow-off sound is a plus)
5. Downpipe (CTS would do the trick)

My first were as follows
1. Dinan exhaust (was skeptical on sound not much to base off of but sounds phenomenal)
2. Wheels and tires. (Went with Alzor 020's 18x9 et 30 on Michelin pilot sport a/s 3+
3. Neuspeed sport springs (super good stance and improved handling) also the Neuspeed cold air intake
And the next two
4. APR downpie
5. JB4 with a custom map 5

1) JB4 - had it left over from my '17 GTI that I traded for the S3, so why not. Let's me keep my CPO warranty too.
2) Resonator delete - perfect sound for my old ears. Great rumble when on it, and no drone. All for a bit over $100.
3) OBD11 - Let's me change all kinds of stuff to suit my needs/wants.
4) APR Intercooler - for the upcoming AutoX and occasional drag strip trips.
5) ECS GTI flush kit spacers - These space the wheels out a bit more than the S3 flush kit, but I had them from the GTI and figured I'd try 'em. To me, gives it the perfect stance with the OEM 18" wheels.
6- Bonus) Chinese Reverse camera interface. Can't believe my '15 Audi did not have a rear camera. But for under $200, the Ebay Chinese interface does the trick!

Install is fairly straightforward. I can email instructions if interested. There's a write up on Audi World, but it was for an older version of the interface. This newer one is a bit easier.
