I would go with the idrive($200), exhaust ($600, mbrp dual rear exit), then tuner($600, Livernois). Idrive will make it feel a lot faster, the exhaust will sound and look better than stock. Then if you're still craving power get the tune.
That would be awesome! I'm looking for some more power but not trying to wake up my neighbors early in the morning. So I'm kinda curious if there's a big difference on cold startup with a downpipe upgrade vs stock in addition to the mbrp catback(rear dual).
How do you like the SPD downpipe? I'm thinking of getting one but I don't want it to be extremely loud, especially on start up. How is the sound difference for you? Can it be heard from inside the cabin?
I highly recommend the idrive(left). I've been using it for about a month. It allows you to easily adjust the throttle response on the fly. I recently paired it with the Livernois tune. Yes it seems a little over the top to have both but the tune adds power while the idrive gives you that...
Really like those hood decals. I recently installed the afe drop-in dry air filter, pleased with it. Next I'm thinking about the Ngauge tuner. Down the road I'd like the mishimoto intercooler and maybe 1" wheel spacers.
