hi just wondering if i should fit the de-cat pipe now or wait till i get a apexi pfc as i\'ve got apexi twin air filters and 3" s/s back box would it affect the car as the rest is still stock.

you are likely to get spikes so perhaps get a boost controller first also.

can i ask where an how much you got the pipe for, i have got a silenced mid pipe but i think i want one.

hi i bought it on here off someone its good to keep your eye open and not rush in to the first one you see.:) so it would pay to wait for a apexi pfc and a boost controller.

I fitted mine with a downpipe and apexi

Depending on your other mods it might start to run slightly lean, cat back and filters are the norm, before you then wanna get a PFC. You would be well advised to have a boost controller also, although Carl from Hayward Rotary swears blind that the Apexi will control boost on stock twins..

thats fine but just stay off boost as the flow is too high so it will spike.
