Question benefits of intake and exhaust upgrade

Was wanting to know the main benefits of upgrading the intake and exhaust I know it will breathe better and get the gases out quicker. My plans are I already have the ingen intake system and blow off valve. Was planning on putting a turbo xs downpipe, and a HKS catback hi power
1. what should be the biggest gain from the exhaust part.
2. what should the boost be set at safely
3. what would be the best down pipe and catback to get if this is not good enough setup
4. will their be any drastic change in the car other than noise.with all this

Not to bash you, but a search is the best method of obtaining this information - there are a lot of opinions about this....

After you've searched and found the answer to all 4 questions, respond to yourself, then revamp the questions so that they include your research and are more specific. You likely won't need our help at all, but I'll be glad to help in great detail once you've done even the slightest bit of searching.

Btw, the first nugget I'll provide is that your first mistake was getting an Injen intake and BOV as your first 2 mods.

in order 1-4
1)the turbo back exhaust is good for like 30-40 whp
2)like 18-20 lbs pretty sure
3)that setup is decent (all 3")(dont forget about a cat/resonator/testpipe and a O2 simulator for the check engine light)
4) between the intake, exhaust, and you will deffinatly need a ECU flash your looking at a 50-70 whp gain-----so ya you'll feel it.

You want us to tie your shoes for you, too? Come on, man, just a little effort, please. There aren't flash tuners in every city, and there's not one in Jax.

I do know. I just told you. CFT isn't a flash tuner either. In Orlando, you would use Jestr Tuning for an Evo flash, but that's only necessary if you want a street tune or dyno tune. You can also get mail-in flashes from any flash tuner by sending in your ECU. Again, basic info that would be gleaned with minor effort on your part.

Search the forum for tuners in Florida, open the phone book or do a Google search.
