Thanks for the info, also what about a charge pipe with bov, and cold air intake?
The S&B CAI lets the turbos breathe a little better but doesn’t give you any gains in Hp. The FenFab hot and cold side charge pipes really dress up under the hood!

People keep saying that, the CAI and exhaust don’t give any hp gains, but that’s not entirely true, the intake typically flow 20% better than oem, you get a larger exhaust the car has the ability to flow on that end better, on an untuned vehicle you might actually lose a lil hp however if you get tunes with all the parts and your tuner cranks your boost up to 20psi, then yes the exhaust and CAI will add alil more hp vs stock, catback is worth maybe 11 whp cai is worth maybe 5-10 whp and downpipe are worth another 20-30 whp. Now this doesn’t mean that it adds a bunch of whp to your grand total what it does mean is versus a bone stock vehicle with a tune and a fbo one with a tune the fbo one is going to make better power in the same rpm range.
