1997 A4 Performance Ugrades

In speaking with Ron at PES_tuning, it seems that my 97 A4 2.8L is "unchippable". If that's true, what do you all think:

Is it worth it to spend $900 for stainless steel cat-back exhaust system, and another $300 for a K&N full replacement air filter?

Is my only option to improve performance a barely noticable 10hp increase, at a cost of $1200?

I chip on a 2.8 really isnt going to do much anyway... I wouldnt waste my money.. spend $25 and get a k&n drop-in... exhaust would be nice, but they're expensive.

are 97's the 30valve? if so... your best bet is to save up for the supercharger...otherwise, you're not gonna get much..
