Hey guys, I posted about a month ago about my RC GTS Black. While I am pleased with its performance, I kind of regret not getting jb4 because I realized I do want more power, getting a jb4 would allow me to utilize the downpipe more. RC is great for what it is, great install, great gains on stock internals. But, I want more power now. Is it worth getting a downpipe with just my racechip, will I see some gains? Or, should I just upgrade to MGF or BM3 before purchasing a downpipe? Also, will it make that much of a difference in terms of sound, or should I opt for a high performance muffler instead considering that I am a 4cyl?

You should go BM3 or MHD to get the most out of the tune and downpipe. You will be able to code out the CEL, too, vs a piggyback. Personally, I have done the tune and downpipes at the same time. Muffler is your call if you want the sound, it won't add power.

I would sell the RC GTS Black and buy BootMod3 or MHD. Once you start you'll always want more power. Bootmod3 or MHD will allow you to grow. I would start with Stage 1 first. While adding a downpipe will give you more speed but, there will be some fuel fumes if you go with a catless downpipe. There's a bigger jump from stock to Stage 1, than going from Stage 1 to Stage 2 in my opinion.

Thanks for the advice. To be honest, probably will do that asap once I get a downpipe.

Thank you for the advice, definitely will get a real tune once I get downpipe.
