you can use it without mods for a good gain. get it used for cheap cuz these dont go bad. and also when u get more mods you can use it to flash those.
best buy for the money

Bolt-ons are fine, but only get you part of the way there...

True. But it's easier to scrape up $200 for a downpipe later, than $500, especially if he's got the $500 right now (I'm assuming the $500 is what NEWBLOODWRX can spend from that first paycheck). I'd consider the AP a "big ticket item", at least bigger than individual exhaust pieces. Buy a downpipe for around $200, gut your third cat and you're at Stage2.

I say start with supporting mods first. Get your hardware...i.e. UP/DP and you will feel a better pull over all. By the time you feel the need for more power, hopefully you would have saved another $500 or so for the AP. I just don't think that EM should be applied unless you have the supporting mods for them.
