Opinion for next mods...

Ok all, just need a simple opinion for which direction I should go right now. I'm torn between ordering the AMS WM DP and a test pipe, or going with a new FMIC. What would you choose? Either way I'll be getting a retune, so factoring in the retune is not a concern. Thanks.

That's kind of the way I was leaning. Although figured the FMIC might be a good idea for "down the road mods". (cams + Red). Thanks.

dp + tp is a must have, imo, if you are planning to do cams + red. Without them, you will cork up a lot of back pressure and thats baddddd. Plus, if you get the dp and tp now, it should yield you more power than a single intercooler.

I agree also I would do full exhaust before the front mount.

I would wait a bit longer, if you can, and get the dp+tp+fmic all at the same time and save on your tuning fees.

Thanks all for the advice. DP+TP is sounding like the way I'll go. Much appreciated all!

save your money and do the turbo at the same time as the DP. It will save you a lot of install time in the long run. Save your money and do a bulk buy in mods.

I think the major choke point in the 10's stock exhaust is the o2 housing, so the AMS widemouth should free up some power. Upgrading the IC should also make power also, but the stock one isnt holding u back at this point...and wait til u hear that exhaust w/ no cat...awesome

One other question, if I decide to keep the Perrin DP and just switch from a HFC to TP and single exit catback would that too require a retune? I know changing from HFC to TP would probably change AFR, but enough to worry about? Thanks.

Dp only. FMIC can always wait.

DP definitely. FMIC not a priority.
