Exhaust and intake photos, opinions and feedback appreciated
 
Hey all, I've been an FR-S owner for a year and a half, and I've always enjoyed tinkering and toying with my vehicles. This is my first post and I respect and admire what all of you do, so any feedback or constructive criticism would be awesome. I bought my car and immediately put an Injen intake on because I had success with them on my '05 Tiburon. That intake is garbage as it positions the MAF sensor in a location that causes a lean air/fuel ratio and will cause idling issues and bogging. I have since put a Perrin cold air intake on, along with the Perrin intake tube and also installed a Borla cat back exhaust. The Perrin intake is superb and I love my Borla exhaust. I've done all of these mods myself and would like to know if I should have an ECU tune to get better throttle response and a more efficient fuel map... I've attached photos and any feedback would be greatly appreciated!!!

Tune will always help for max HP when you start changing things around...

Not sure why I couldn't attach photos to this post... Anyone have any issues with the legality of headers? This is my everyday ride, so I've been apprehensive about getting headers because I've heard they're not street legal. It was the next logical step in my build though.

I have headers since May, didn't have any problem. It's all down to how you drive. If you redline it every 3 seconds, then make sure your wallet is full of bills to pay for the inspections and tickets.

Don't be an asshat and you'll be fine. :D

Edit: Also, if your state has emissions test, then it is different. Might wanna go catted.
