1. DHM I/C
2. 2JR / DHM Cat-less DP
3. FSwerks (same as Cobb but cheaper)
4A. 2JR Intake (Racer)
4B. Mountune Induction Tube, Drilled out lower airbox, Panel Filter or Cone Filter (Cheapo)
5. Personal Preference, but Panda has been good to me

Agree with everything, but i like my straight pipe exhaust way too much.
Also i like Randy at mountune for my tunes.

I'm talking if money is no object what's the best Intercooler, CAI, Downpipe, EXH, and Tuner?

 

[dyn085]

I guess if I had it to do over again-

1. Airtec
2. Something catless
3. Cobb
4. cp-e
5. Freektune

There really isn't a lot of data to solidify most anything being specifically better than something else, so it's mostly personal opinion. I like my Cobb setup though.

Is it a big deal getting an inspection sticker with a catless downpipe? Does it really smell bad?

 

[dyn085]

Depending on where you live, it could be a big deal. I get my first 3 years free in NC before I have to start having emissions tests. As for the smell, kinda, but you get used to it. It's not much different than being downwind of most 70's era cars. When I first went catless on my FoST I wasn't a huge fan, but it kind of became addicting for lack of a better word. You don't notice it in the car unless your windows are down and the wind is blowing the right way anyways.

 

[MikeyTwins]

I'm thinking to keep it fairly simple Cobb CBE and Cobb Intercooler, CB-E intake, Catless downpipe (not sure who's yet) and a Freektune.

 

[dyn085]

The Cobb parts are definitely high quality-I have everything but the intake on my FiST. For the most part there won't be a huge power difference in full stage 3 builds because the OEM turbo is the main limiting component, so pick parts that you like. You can also order everything directly from Justin if you're so inclined.

 

[TrickSTer]

My current ultimate:

1) DHM I/C & Crashbar
2) Mountune Catted Downpipe
3) Mountune CBE
4) CP-E Ram CAI
5) Freaktune? (not totally decided)

Yeah I figured that much but you are talking to a guy who turned a stock mustang into a 1200hp twin turbo street monster and a friggin PT Cruiser into the fastest known PT convertible there was lol so a bigger turbo will most likely be in the Fist's future!
