ALSO, it's smooth straight thru...unlike ER/FTP which are two pieces which can cause uneven/turbulent flow (if you want to take it to that level lol)...

I upgraded it however, but looking back...not sure if necessary? Thoughts?
Does the ER one that Mike sells come with the boost pipe? Or is it just the charge?

I think it'll only be worth it if I go to stage 2 turbo, so end game it'll be necessary. But I don't think I'll go stage 2 turbo anytime soon? Depends on what I want out the car.

Honestly stage 2+ (car not turbo) is probably the best for general needs. I do plan on reducing weight with CF body panels (depends if I decide to go through with the 718 GT4)
