No it wont void the warranty. They cant cancel your warranty for modifications, unless said modifications cause damage to your car.
You have a few options but you will need shocks and springs.
you can do coil-overs such as STaSIS StreetSport coilovers. They will allow you to raise and lower the height as you'd like which can be handy for winter, if you want a real low drop for the summer.
You can also get set of h&r springs and then a set of bilstein shocks.
Search around and go to website for stasis, H&R springs, bilstein, eibach.
Try audizine.com or audiworld.com, theres usually much more information on this sort of stuff. Just do a forum search on their sites.
As far as install goes there are plenty of do it yourself on the internet or you can get a shop to take care of it.

I guess I should get some more money to pay for all these mods first.

Tint and exhaust wont run you too much money though.
Get like 35% tint. Your probably looking at around $250. Will look really nice though, not too dark not too light. Thats what im running.
Exhaust you can get a full system but that will be around $1000.
Try just mufflers, probably can get some for around $250-300. Magnaflow 14851 with 4" tips are very popular with audi a4 b6/b7 owners.
try youtube for some clips.

I am for sure going to tint my windows. I figured that I would do 50% for the driver and passenger windows, then 35% for the backseat windows, then 20% for the back window. You think that is okay?As far as exhaust goes, my friend just bought an APR exhaust system for his VW GTI, it sounded pretty nice, and looked great with 4 inch tips.
If I just buy a muffler could that make my car sound nicer? (without making it sound cheaper). I will also look into exhaust tips since they look AWESOME.

Re: New to this forum :D How should I mod my car?
a lot of B7 owners do this mod and it really improves the front end look of your car. Highly suggest it.
Plasti-diping the chrome grille surrounds wont be a huge difference on a black car but doing the filler plate in the middle of your grille black, instead of gray, will look fantastic!

You are so nice for helping me I am for sure going to tint my windows. I figured that I would do 50% for the driver and passenger windows, then 35% for the backseat windows, then 20% for the back window. You think that is okay?

It will sound nicer depending on which muffler you go with. There are a lot of mufflers out there that will make your car sound like a fart can honda. So if you do go that route just make sure to do some research on different mufflers for b7 audi's, particularly on audi enthusiast message boards and see what they have and how they sound. Try audizine.com or audiworld.com
Full exhaust systems like APR are the best choice but there $$$. The APR one for your car is around $1000.
I passed on the exhaust system and got a set of vibrant 4" tips that look the exact same as the oem tips just bigger. For me that was all I needed, filled the gap in the exhaust cut outs.
