Getting a remap and only buying cat-back is a waste of money. If you remap you'll need a turbo-back (aka Hi-flow+Downpipe) - They compliment each other.
I don't think that is strictly true Robin.
A stage 1 map and a cat back is a good starting place and gives you the option to get used to the car and then add the downpipe and stage 2 software at a later date.
^^^^^^^ i completley agree with steve here stage 1 remap and cat back go hand in hand, the remap gives it the go , the cat back supplies the right noise and the looks , imo this is enough for most , i would nt want any more with out the diff
....I'm not disagreeing with Steve - My point is simply that if
in the longer term you think you would want to go further in your tuning, then it makes more
economical sense to go straight for the TBE now rather than pay the extra for swopping parts later.
My understanding is that a TBE will partner better with a Stage1 remap anyway but that it's not critical nor a problem to do otherwise.
