I went with the IPD Plenum, full exhaust system (long pipes, 200 cell cats, mufflers, tips) and ECU remap from FVD. Very pleased objectively with the 22 hp gain on the initial dyno runs and subjectively with the results of these mods. I installed them in the following sequence:
1. IPD Plenum produced midrange alertness... opened her up a bit.
2. FVD Exhaust system yielded huge audio HP for the buck, mid-hi range pickup, notable HP gains per the "butt dyno" but also resulted in some low end lag.
3. FVD ECU Software remap... this kicked up the low end dramatically with instant power at all bands as verified by the dyno runs.
I'm now recalibrating my ECU(brain)/relearning how to drive the "new car" in the garage... the car has a completely different feel - very performant compared to stock.
GL with the Mods and let us know the results.
