Tough decision!
Hey guys, I'm debating on whether to get an HKS exhaust or an Access port.. I don't know which would be the better path. Should I get all my basic bolt ons first or just go with the access port and run on the default map it provides? Any feed back would be great! Currently my car performance wise is stock. I have an AEM intake on the way and was planning to go with an HKS, but from what I've been reading, correct me if I'm wrong but the access port would be a beneficial gain even on a stock set up..
Thanks in advance!

I agree. The AP default stock tune won't work as well. There is no one size fits all, haha but can you specify by "unsafe"? Can the intake make that much of a drastic change with the tune?

I think the AP is probably better but remember its going to more than likely take you months to get a tune back from MM. So if you plan on buying an exhaust soon after the AP or any other performance mods then maybe just buy those first then get the ap and start tuning once you have the couple of mods you plan on buying.

I'd go with your performance mods first so that you have everything complete prior to purcahing the AP. You wouldn't want to be mid way through purchasing / installing your performance mods and have your time limit run out on MM's custom service for the AP.

Hey guys, thanks for all the feedback. I decided to go grab the exhaust first with a mid-pipe maybe the one from agency power and headers soon after. But I will get the AP asap afterwards. Hopefully before the month ends! Has anyone heard the HKS hi power stacked with the RB mid-pipe? Or the racing beat race exhaust single tip? I cant find any feedback on that exhaust..

LOL. Thanks guys for really giving the smack on that one. I shouldn't have said anything until I was sure. I called the RB and talked to one of the reps there and what not. Turns out and I didn't really order anything.. haha, but I did get the RB midpipe from one of the guys on this forum. I am going with the access port this week (ordering it friday) instead. After all that, I think the CAI, Mid Pipe and Access port, it would be a good start for mods.
