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:
  1. Which exhaust you’d choose and why (sound, performance, fitment, etc.)
  2. Whether these supporting mods are enough for 500+ whp or if I’m missing anything crucial
  3. 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....
