Mainly performance. You will get more power but still nice smooth as stock driveability.

You will hear a few more noises mainly due to the increase in boost. I think my fuel mileage stayed about the same, other than i am always pedal to the medal.

You will enjoy it!

at least the question wasn't: which chip is better...which one should i get...revo vs giac vs apr...should i chip...will chipping void my warranty...how much is a chip...where's the best deal on a chip...which chip do you have and why...what's a chip...etc...?

...like doritos too.

Once again PArks is correct. Also the Ecode test pipe bolts right in, nothing needs to be changed. I have APR and the Ecode test pipe and the testpipe is a better investment then the intake. You will get more out of the pipe anyway. The sound will change a little with the test pipe, its not really really loud but its a noticable difference. Not annoying though.

you would want to verify if the test pipe will not void your warranty. It will cause a cel warning light to come on.

Stage 2 will take care of that CEL. Void warranty? Who needs warranty. [:D]

The test pipe alone will. The APR chip turns it off as stated. Get the chip and the test pipe and no CEL. As far as the warranty goes... If the testpipe is the direct cause of a failure you might have issues. Like a burnt 02 sensor or something related to the mod. If the dealer sees the testpipe they do not just void your warranty. Also depending on the dealer and your relationship with them they will overlook it or give you the chance to make it stock and bring it back. Just have to look at your whole situation. I am comfortable modding, I have a local shop, the great eurocode and good relationship with my dealer. I have it worked out. Just have to find a way to make it work.
