Also, the labor is super expensive because of the torque converter requires dropping the entire transmission to change.
My advice is to go aftermarket tune (e.g. Bootmod3 or MHD) and aftermarket exhaust (e.g. Remus, Dinan, Armytrix, etc.). I personally went with BM3 and Remus and couldn't be happier!
IMHO, only advantage of MPPSK kit is to keep the warranty intact. However, you are paying easily 2-3x that if you went with aftermarket (e.g. I paid $500 for BM3 tune and $1500 for Remus exhaust and tipsj with install). Whether or not that delta is worth it to you is up to you to decide!

Thank you so much for replying. So the BM3 is a flash tune I'm assuming? Would this void the warranty?
