Need final exhaust advice

If you do just the Megan cat-back, then consider doing the all-in-one DC Sports downpipe/testpipe. It's one piece for both parts, which is easy, but it also keeps you from being able to swap in the stock cat for inspection. With the Megan setup (and most others), you can just swap out the test pipe for the stock cat whenever necessary.

thanks..I guess the megan tbe and o2housing just for now..then a tune..that'll reach my budget already.. you know a estimate of performance specs once these are tuned? thanks

Yarg, you need the fuel pump, mbc, and bov to be proper. This stuff doesn't work as well in pieces. You need the MBC to raise and regulate boost, the BOV to properly hold boost (stocker is plastic and weak), and the fuel pump to supply enough fuel for the extra power you're making. It's best to get tuned with all the parts instead of just the exhaust unless you get a tune that allows retunes for free.

The TBE and tune should be good for 40-50whp.

Yea, I'm not gonna tune until I have all the parts installed. Are all the parts pretty simple to install; instructions anywhere? o2 housing easy to install? Should be close to the Dp I'm guessing. Thanks for your advice. 40+whp is awesome; I should be into the 300bhp soon.

I have a prototype BPM catback and Megan DP I got from my boostbuddy, I'll let it go for two and a half.

Shoot Warrtalon even raced the car with this setup before it was mine.

This should help with your budget constraints and point you in the right direction as far as your AWHP goal!!!

No prob. If you want to check bpm out, the guy who's putting on the evo sti shootout is the BPM rep. You can link to him through this site or AWD Pirates.
