Here’s what I’m currently considering for bolt-ons:
- Cat-back exhaust: Dinan or Valvetronic Designs
- Heat Exchanger: CSF Triple-Pass High-Performance Unit
- Intake: Eventuri Carbon Fiber Intake
- High-Flow Catted Downpipe: VRSF 4.5″ High-Flow Catted DP
- Tune: BootMod3 (BM3)
Would love to hear your thoughts on: - Which exhaust you’d choose and why (sound, performance, fitment, etc.)
- Whether these supporting mods are enough for 500+ whp or if I’m missing anything crucial
- Any tips for keeping temps under control with this setup
Appreciate any input, dyno numbers, or personal experiences you can share!

Excellent analysis, from Bootmod website i see the list your mentioned mods under stage 2, which should see gains up to 500bhp, but depending on the altitude of where you stay, you might need a hybrid to consistently run 500 bhp on pump gas....
