RE: goodies??

since you are a 2005 and an automatic a X-Cal2 is a must!! I would go with a X-Cal2 / C&L CAI combo... and since you are an automatic I will recommend Lidio from Alternative Auto (www.alternativeauto.com). When it comes to automatics, Lidio tops...

UDP is Under Drive Pulley... i would skip it...

Definitely ditch the stock muffler... I loved my MRT Aero-Turbine... (but was a bit much once the cats came off!)

C&L CAI and Tune-around 600 bucks and you can do that yourself
personally, i'm going with the MRT aeroturbine exhaust, about 225 and 100 for installation.
thats what i'm doing and it doesnt look like i'll hit 1000 bucks!

Please do not pay $100 for installation!!! On the hoist it's a 10 minute job... Most guys have just done it in their driveway just using some hand tools...

intake/tune and muffler to start you off for sure like everyone said. You can easily install these yourself so dont even worry about installation price. Seriously, the installs are self explanatory.

yep people are too quick too take crap to the shop come on guys try it yourself. Me and two friends installed a full exhaust on a 2006 audi s4 ( headers back) with jack stands that got the car only like 3 inches higher than our faces and if you have ever been under the new s4, you know it is low, everything is crammed, and EVERYTHING IS CRAMMED. we are all 16-17 and the two other guys didn't know the difference between an x and an h. Most of this stuff is easy guys, just try it out.
