    Default How important is a full exhaust vs catback on this car?

    I know some cars have very restrictive downpipes how is it on these cars? I am looking at a catback mainly for the reduced cost, and would likely end up getting a downpipe later on but seeing as im buying this car brand new this week my money is limited for a bit.

    So if my only immediate mods are going to be , short ram intake, likely a forge BOV & actuator, would the horsepower difference of a catback vs full exhaust be noticable?

    no mods will "feel" noticeable until you do a re-flash.

    so a reflash is a really big deal? will flashing the ecu before i do any mods be greater gains then doing intake/exhaust?

    is there a FAQ/noob guide somewhere on here im missing

    haha im sure there is, but ill tell you -

    once you reflash, you will have the biggest smile on your face- its ridiculous how big of a difference it is

    Power Axel flash will allow basic bolt ons (intake, exhaust intercooler ) once you go past that like injectors or bigger turbo, you will need to have the flash retuned.

    IMO I would relfash if you want instant gain, that you can feel. im sure every GC owner would back that.

    I would also say that on the Turbo coupe a full turbo back exhaust makes a hell of a difference as compared to just a catback. Much more power gained!

    No
    If you get larger injectors or whatever that needs a retune, i think its 100 to retune.. BUT the base tune will take all bolt ons.. its when u do a turbo swap/injector work you need a retune
