Dear Forum Members.

I just paid off my 2010 Evo X (bought used in 2012). Now that I have an extra $300/month laying around, I want to put that into some mods. I am 38 years old, married, and have 2 kids so I'm looking for some increases in performance while still using my car as a daily driver. I've done lots of research and based on that, I'm looking for something around the 290 - 300 HP range. Based on my research, here is what I'm planning to purchase to get me to those numbers;

1. MXP Catback Exhaust ($525) - I want this because it's quiet and I won't run into any emissions issues.
2. Agency Power Short Ram Intake ($250) - Supposed to be direct fit without any cutting or modifications
3. Grimmspeed 3-port Electronic Boost Control Solenoid ($110) - supposed to be easy plug & play installation.
4. Evo X MR OEM Blow-off Valve ($200) - Stock PLASTIC GSR BOV is prone to leaking where Stock METAL MR BOV is much more efficient
5. Professional Tune

My questions are you guys are:

1. Will these mods get me to around the 290 - 300 HP range SAFELY?
2. Are there any other mods that I should look to get?

Keep in mind that this is my DD and once I get a tune, I'm expecting to keep the car that way well into the foreseeable future. Once I get another car as a DD, then I'll look to do more major power/component increases. I want something that just gives me better performance while also staying in the SAFE range so that I don't run the risk of engine/transmission failure.

Thanks In advance for all your info

 

if all you want is 300 whp, all you need is a 3 port and a High flow cat (100 cel is most power) or a test pipe if no sniffer test in your area. A catback won't really add much power at those levels and and intake isn't really necessary to reach that either. the blow off valve won't leak at those boost levels and can hold up to around 28 or so if it is crushed.
