I'm trying to decide between a Fabspeed sport-cat DP or a BM3 and FMIC? My car already has MPPK so it has a mild tune but no MPE. I figure the DP will add a little sportier exhaust sound as well as another 20 or so HP. I'll also be adding an after market CP to whichever I go with for an added bit of insurance as they seem to be frequently recommended.

I live in Massachusetts with fairly strict emission standards so I figure I'd pay up and get the Fabspeed DP so not to fail rather than a cheaper alternative. Many recommended the flash tune as the being the first but not sure how much difference it would be over a DP since I already am running a higher boost from the MPPK tune. Any advice and insight would be greatly appreciated.

Same car as mine, almost same miles, vrsf do, vrsf cp, intake, and bm3 tune. No complaints. Do it all at once

Make sure to do the charge pipe before anything it will blow really fast otherwise then cold air intake then dp and go bootmod3 m2 tune changed my car completely

As others have said, upgrading the charge pipe is an absolute must. Plenty have failed with the cars being completely stock. This should be where you start to avoid getting stuck somewhere.

The target boost of BM3 or MHD is much higher than the MPPK. Stock boost is around 7psi, MPPK is 9 or 10psi and BM3 Stage 2 is 15psi. It would be a rather significant upgrade from what you have.

I would recommend doing the down pipe and flash at the same time. BM3 only includes one map with your purchase. If you are going to run stage 2, it is recommended to have a FMIC and a down pipe.

Throw in a high flow filter and you have a pretty fun set up.

I am upgrading my charge pipe and doing stage 1 93. Planning on running that for a while and then doing catted DP and FMIC before going to stage 2 93. Does this sound okay?

Curious what made you choose Bm3 over mhd? I've been reading this forums extensively but so far it seems that for my car (2013 pwg n55) mhd seems to be less problematic? I'm planning on staying at stage 1 for awhile. I've already replaced my charge pipe as it blew up with my car being stock. Lol

I went with BM3 as there seemed to be more options for custom tunes which I knew I was going to need down the road. I also did not have an Andriod device needed to use MHD. I dont know if this has changed, but BM3 flashes were also loading a bit faster - which may or may not matter to you.

If you haven't ordered the cp yet you may want to check out CTS Turbo. They have a sale right now for about $187. They seem to have good fitment. I have the VRSF and it does fit ok but was a mofo to install.
