The intake makes the turbo sound cool, btw. You hear the spool and the blow off a lot louder, even without a blow off valve!

Stage 1 is also programmed to make your exhaust do more of the "pop and gurgle" thing, especially when letting off the gas. My M/B exhaust was 6 db's louder than stock, at idle,as measured on my PD's meter. Quality and fit were good, although I did have to adjust the driver's side pipe about once every 6 months......

Thanks for the info dusty...6 DB aint really that bad...

What kind of difference did you see performance wise with your setup? Stage 1 and Mopar exhaust?

By M/B I'm assuming he means Mopar/Borla exhaust. Hmm, mine doesn't seem any louder than the stock one. I would swear it's actually quieter than stock at idle, but 6 dB is a minimal difference. Plus I am half deaf lol. It's a coin toss I guess. On paper the intake/stage 1 combo would add more HP, but I bet the S1 runs better with the upgraded exhaust.

I hope this is a good choice, I'm on the fence as what it going to net me the most HP per dollar...

intake
exhaust
Stage 1

Those are the 3 components I have to work with, with my budget...what 2 can I utilize for the most power?[&:]

Thanks for all your help and responces!
