New build, need feedback

[David0821]

So I’m starting a build (‘21 gt, 10spd) and wanted to get advice from what works best, and if I can save some money

so I wanna put LT headers, but not sure what brand to buy.
also, should I keep stock pipes and just do a resonator Delete (to save money) or is it worth it to go full cat back exhaust?
Will my if I did go the mid-pipe delete, will those new headers fit onto the stock pipes with no issue? If buy a full exhaust, what brand is recommended? raspy preferred ?
If I install a jlt intake am I find to drive it without a tune? Or do I need one immediately after install?
I know I need a tune for the headers, just not sure if I need one for the cai, I was originally planning on throwing the cai on, then doing 1 tune for everything at once…. Thank you to whoever sees this and gets back to me. Looking forward to getting feedback

Kooks and ARH both make quality and great fitting long tubes. You can get factory connect that neck down to the smaller piping stock exhaust or if you go go with a 3" exhaust they have a connect for that as well (AWE Touring or Corsa Sport both sound great with long tubes).

You will need a tune for the car to run with the jlt. But on 18+ the oem intake flows efficiently and keeps iats down (unlike open cai) so would recommend just adding a drop in filter and and save $ for other mods.

If you have it available in your area, tuning for e85 is by far the best bang for your buck NA.
