So a cat back won't alter boost (boost early/over boost) when does fuel cut on these cars in regards to max boost? Was interested in a race pipe but heard people were running lean and boosting prematurely?

^^ What Matt says there that I have bolded, I agree 100%. Find his responses in any question threads and you've got the spot on answer pretty much all of the time.
Don't waste your time/money with a full aftermarket CBE on the Gen1, just tweak the factory system for the noise you want.
That's pretty much what I want just noise. Do You think a boost gauge is necessary if I change the muffler because it could alter boost?
A CBE won't change your boost level, it will only make the car louder/sound different. You're not going to blow the car up by putting a CBE on.
Have a look through the forum to see some of the common mod paths and associated info.

I'm just OCD and was reading to much about zoom zoom boom lol that's why I'm freaking out about moding my gen 1 lol
Yep, I can do that.
for about $550ish...you can get a full 3" stainless steel custom cat back, from the second cat no resonator and a magnaflow muffler. Thats what im getting done soon.
@MattMPS3 for recomending me this setup.
but as others have said. If your after noise just remove the resonator or change the a smaller rear straight through muffler
Hey Matt @MattMPS3. Car is booked in for the 3rd of August...im pretty sure he said that it was for a straight pipe from the second cat all the way to a magnaflow muffler or it could have been to get rid of the second cat and straight pipe from there all the way to the magnaflow.
