Downpipe. Also make sure you get the EWG harness as I don't believe they're included

Would the catted downpipe still work for you? I am looking DP next, but will be catted as I have no desire to fail emissions up here in WA, or smell gas in the car all the time.

I am running the JB4 now, map 1, and will be bumping to map 2 now that my charge pipe and intercooler, both from active autowere and Mike and Extreme Power house are installed. *grin*

What I have been told is if you touch anything before the catalytic converter that's automatic fail but I still have no desire to gamble on it.

I ordered the same intercooler and charge pipe from Mike I'm getting all kinds of weird quotes here in the bay area to get it installed do you mind telling me how much you paid to get it installed?

I did all the installs myself, CP, intercooler and JB4. check out my YouTube channel for detailed install videos for all of that. There is no reason why you can't do the work yourself.

Having JB4 now is MPPK still a option like can I add both of these tunes at the same time?
I keep reading the MPPK give the car a great exhaust note boost.

You can run them both together and many do.

Adding MPPK when you already have a JB4 is a waste of money.
If you are looking for a better exhaust sound , get a REMUS exhaust

Nice mod list!

I would recommend going with map 5 not map 2 since you are keeping your stock DP.

No other parts are needed.
