TBE, Manifold, Intake...

[speedstick]

I have a 2010 MS3 and am itching to mod it. I was looking at getting the CP-E turbo back exhaust with the high flow cat and 12" muffler for 1300$ or get a DNP turbo manifold along with the K&N 69 series typhoon intake system. I am not sure which to get first ( these are my first mods FYI). I know the turbo manifold helps with turbo lag and hp as does the TBE but idk whats the better power gain to get as my first mod, the exhaust or the intake and manifold.....

Down Pipe + Race Pipe FTW.

exhaust and short ram intake

Short ram and downpipe will net the most hp gains. The catback section won't do much. Might get you 5hp or so, but imo that's not worth the amount it costs.

yeah when i said exhaust he said he was doing turbo back so it was just implied

Yeah, I caught that....my comment wasn't aimed at you or anything. I just think personally, I'd rather spend $700 for a full DP (versus $1300 for the tbe) and the remaining $600 on other parts. The catback portion is only nice for the sound. Not trying to stir the pot.....just throwing my .02 cents out there.
