the stock dump pipe is your biggest restriction so replacing that with aftermarket pipe will def net you the best bang for buck in performance.

Yep Get a Phat Dump although I don't have one, looks like the best thing to do.

I know a couple of other owners who also are interested in a Phat DP...I have been running mine for 9 months and it is a finely engineered product. Anyone who has seen mine has been very impressed. Ceramic coating is awesome and fitment perfect. See group buy threads for this item.

I had my car tuned immediately after having this item installed along with AVO TMIC and I have had NO issues to date.

yes its ok for starters, but once you do the dump then you will want the centre - y pipe and mufflers changed as well.
