Hey guys, Im new here. I have been perusing many different threads on this forum for a good while now. Lots of great information. I am starting to gather parts for a supercharger setup and will be using the Kraftwerks kit that is available for my 2012 Si. I have an Injen axleback exhaust and really like it. I know that that exhaust is not one of the favored ones around here, but I really like it for the simplicity of install and the complete lack of droning. It is exactly what i was looking for. I am familiar with basic automotive knowledge and have been working on cars since I was very young. I know that that particular exhaust does almost nothing in the way of performance. My question is... When I make the jump on my Kraftwerks kit and get it all bolted up and ready to go, will that exhaust (axleback only, stock midpipe and downpipe/cat) be enough? I know that I will be sacrificing a fair amount of power, which isnt really my concern. My concern is will this do any damage to the engine? Reliability? Also, will the stock cat even take the heat from the supercharger? What im looking to do is avoid having to purchase a full exhaust (New DP, and cat-back). I know some of you will probably tell me to take the cat off completely, however I do not wish to do this as we have frequent smog checks here in Ohio. If I cannot get away with the setup I have now, will getting perhaps an RV6 downpipe and HFC be adequate?
So to reiterate, my plans are...
Stock Engine
Kraftwerks kit
Possible Fuel Pump upgrade
FlashPro
VitViper E-tune
Injen axleback exhaust with stock DP and Mid-pipe
Thanks alot guys!
