Smile Dont know much about performance mods

I have a couple of questions.

Would this be a good stage 2 setup on 07 Sti.
1. Cobb AP V2 Stage 2
2. APS CAI
3. APS 3" TBE or should i run high flow cat?
4. APS Up pipe
5. Should i get different headers or use stock, if so what should i get?
6. What else do i need, and do these mods increase the chance of my cars engine blowing up or having any problems?

What else can i add to get more hp, i dont want to do a new turbo.

i really just want to have a secure setup that will last, any suggestions on what else i should change or add or what else i need to run these i appreciate it.
Thanks

Protune and a fuel pump and maybe some larger injectors

you just go get it protuned by a professional. Make sure its on a nice day though, i would say around 65-70 degrees.

It is usually not necessary to upgrade your fuel pump and injectors unless your are installing a larger turbo. A good protune w your Cobb ap will net you a sizable hp/torque increase. CAI is also not required for a Stage II mod. A K and N panel filter should be fine in your stock airbox.

don't need the up pipe.

The APS TBE is nice. But I'm a little bias.

I would go catted. I'm starting to notice more and more smog sniffers around in Socal on freeway on-ramps.

megan makes a cheep TBE. and the sound clips on the net, sound really good. I have never heard of them cracking or any thing. but then again, remember most of the time, "you get what you pay for".
