What to get????

I got an '89 S5 a little while ago...and as everyone knows Christmas is coming. That means us kids that are still at home get presents from our parents. I was wondering wether to get a K&N Cone filter, or exhaust. (note: if you have good suggestions/brands for exhaust please tell me because i will eventually get some.) Right now I'm leaning towards the cone filter...

Thanks

If they will do the exhaust get that ..... milk their asses while you still can. The exhaust system will cost alot more than K&N .. you can buy that later, yourself.

How about a nice Racing Beat cat-back for X-mas. I know I would love to have one.

After a full tuneup, your first reliability & power first mod should be partial headers/downpipe to replace the pre-cat. 2nd mod should be a "rated for a rotary engine's heat output" main catalytic converter.

Like AcidShock said above, RacingBeat sells the end to end exhaust setup, but you can buy the partial header/downpipe that bolts right up to the OEM exhaust.
