Tuning Advice Needed...!

[Scott_2190]

So, I bought my first EP3 around a year ago and it came with a couple of additions that id like to change/fix but am unsure of whats best to do.

It currently has, a typhoon intake with a heat shield & cold air feed.
A scorpion back box, & B-Pipe.
De-Cat.

Going through the receipts with the car I managed to find the same exhaust system on eBay just to show you guys here..

So, the current exhaust system is quite loud even when cruising, and im pretty sure the B-Pipe has developed a crack. I am unsure if the system is any good or not and now seems to like it would be the time to get rid of it all if its garbage. Although I do like the look of the backbox on the car.

I am currently in my last year in university so for the time being I am not looking to spend crazy money on upgrades/downgrades, and generally want the car to improve in terms of power, rather than looks. Although I would like to possibly get Kpro/K100 in the long run.

The decat is most likely coming off next week when I tackle the service as the mot is soon anyway.

Any advice would be welcomed, whether it be telling me what I have is crap, or advice what would be the best options to start with. Cheers..!

Hiya mate i would say search through the forum on what parts you want to upgrade, you will learn alot from just scrolling through I know I have as I'm quite new on here also. I would say get a decent full stainless cat back system like a DC sports decent induction Gruppe m or the tegiwa replica and a k100 ecu remap for decent gains then a FRSU to help with handling.

The Scorpion system is very restrictive due to the B-Pipe only being 2" diameter so changing the exhaust system would be a good idea if your looking for more power in the future.
It all depends on budget because there are plenty of exhaust systems to choose from but the best value for money systems are the DC Sports and Piper exhausts.

DC Sports systems are 2.5" bore so give decent gains when coupled with a race header, rbc, intake and K100/K Pro.
