Yes , but tuning is required . You are making the engine breath better , allowing gases to escape quicker , so turbos function better . You also increase boost when you do this .
In would not put down pipes on a car without addressing the tune. |

....and I assume that it isn't enough to just buy the newest Dinan stage 1, when it comes out? In other words, the tuning needs to be custom to my system?

This of course risks the engine going POP, if it does not automatically compensate for extra air.

I've been running these race catted downpipes for a while now and no problems. If you just put the downpipes on you def won't gain that much power. A proper tune like stated above will definitely maximize the performance you gain from this mod.

I have race catted so I don't get any codes... as far as warranty it's up to the dealer if they are Dicks or not but mine and some others don't care much for DP's. I love the way my Akra sounds with DP'S. It's the only reason I wouldn't want to remove them.
