Is this worth it?
Is this worth it?
Questioning my bang for the buck. I have the following mods and am thinking of swapping out the following:
Currently have:
Megan manifold, O2 housing, DP, and race pipe in place of the cat.
GReddy Ti-C Catback
GReddy RS BOV
Walbro Fuel Pump
Injen LICP, UICP and intake
MBC
Considering swapping:
ETS 3" FMIC
Megan TP
How much awhp would each of these be worth considering I will be dynotuned before and after? I do not plan to mods the car anymore outside of this.
Thanks!

So you're going to put in a FMIC (in place of the stock one) and a Megan Test pipe in place of the "race pipe"?
Or are you taking off everything you currently have and swapping in those two things? I'm confused.

I am replacing the stock FMIC with a 3" one and replacing the race pipe with the TP.
A race pipe and a test pipe are the same are they not? Or is that the situation where one has a resonator and one doesn't?
TP over a highflow cat can gain you around 10-15whp, I know that from dyno testing mine and a friend's Evo.

Right, I have the race pipe which is a resonated test pipe.

Are the resonated tp that much more restrictive than the regular tp? I wouldn't think so. But if they are, they have to be less restrictive than a high-flow cat, and therefore I would assume between 0-10 whp, more likely around 5.... Depending on the level of restriction.
As far as the IC, I have seen and read tons of things from gaining a bunch to simply having less turbo-lag and a better spool. I think it only works THAT well with a larger turbo, that's what I remember people telling me when I was looking, but its been over a year.

i'm going to say 0 gain on the pipe switch & 10whp more with the I/C if u have a good tuner. other than that u might have around 350whp tuned at sea level on 93octane & 22-24PSI... key words are good tuner
If you plan on sticking with the stock turbocharger (doesn't show an upgraded charger on the mod list) The 3" will be perfect. If you do end up getting a test pipe i would recommend getting an o2 simulator or o2 faker, so you don't set off a check engine light.
