Did evyeroen wait to put on an exhaust or simple bolt ons? I am just curious, will having mods hurt the break in, or does it not really matter if

Did evyeroen wait to put on an exhaust or simple bolt ons?

Provided you follow a proper break in procedure, it doesn't really matter...
but then again, why add power-ups to a car you won't be thrashing right away? Also, if you plan to dyno, dyno after break in, get a baseline, and then go back to redyno after adding a mod you know exactly how much each mod added ![]()

It depends on the mods. If you are going with test pipes/hfc's catback, then you should be fine just continue driving as such. Personally I waited a little bit so I can grow accustomed to the feel of the car stock (driveability, power curve, limits etc.) and then added mods. What's the point of additional power if I can't properly manage the car while stock.

Its not simply the power #'s its but you've listed two awd cars. Driving 300hp N/A rwd to the limit and 300hp f/i awd to the limit are very different.

I had my "bolt-on's" installed at PDI before I took delivery. No problems... No issues
