Question Petit Downpipe??

Okay so the guy i bought my FD off of (Eric) had a petit DP he never put on so he gave it to me with the car. Now if I install it will i have any problems with running lean, or will i be okay? Within the next couple months i plan on getting a PFC and various other upgrades, but will it be okay to put the DP on?

shouldn't be a problem if that's the only thing going on the car... be wary of the 3-mod rule though...

edit: damn postwhores...

I can increase boost. With a boost guage you can measure it. With a boost controller, you can turn it down. If you have it out and can afford the time and money, send it to jet-hot for 2000 degree coating. You might break the stud when removing the pre-cat.

What will the coating do for me, and how long will it take and how much will it cost, and do you have a web site or something i can look at, and and and. oh and i was going to buy a boost controller sooner or later, looks like it is going to be sooner.

advantage of the coating... ?
hot air travels quicker....coatings will keep the heat in...provide lower underhood temps and dp protection....
