Default RS4 3 18SS HOP UP ??'s

hey guys, just bought an 18SS...looking into some mods i should do while i assemble. what kind of pipe should i put on? i was thinking an RDLOGIC turbo II pipe...and some chassis mods, like decks and stuff.

what do you guys recommend in terms of brands and stuff?

Yes get the Rd Logics pipe and get the Graphite upper deck, tell me what you want your car to be like, a handlers or speed demon and your price range, here are a few things you could do, it's my SS(old pics new engine now)

i got many hop-ups(as u can see) the car is barely stock. i use a CVEC pipe and it works great plus it adds alittle horespower



i did clean it now, these pictures were taken awhile ago.

the first thing i'd like to work on is chassis rigidity (i.e., stiff chassis for great handling). im thinking i'll look into graphite/carbon fiber upper decks, towers, and different spring rates. are there any other types of parts that'll make the chassis stiffer?

with power, i'm gonna take it one thing at a time, with just a pipe for now

I have the HPI deck but i had flipped the rx plate upside down to get that pack to fit, i have a flat pack now so it doesn't matter, those thing on my front suspension are braces and get rid of the slop
