i'm buying an FD (again 
) within the next week. i wanted to put an apexi intake and a stainless steel downpipe right away. my cat and exhaust will still be stock (for now). i was wondering if i'll still be running safe from detonation with these two mods. i know 3 mods would be pushing my luck and i'd have to get an ecu upgrade for sure.
but anyways,
apexi intake + ss downpipe + STOCK cat + STOCK exhaust = safe ?
thanks,
chim

ummm i had a 94 montego blue with 56,XXX original miles PEP options. bought it for $7200. the seller was only asking for $6000 too but there was another guy there i had to outbid so i did. i found out later on that the car had some problems... when i bought it the seller said there was only an airbox problem and i guess he wasn't very good with mechanics but anyways... later on i found out it had some other problems...
but yeah, i sold it for $15,000 :smirk: cause i wanted to buy an s2000 but now i'm back to where i started buying another FD

catback exhaust wouldn't be pushing my luck ?
i don't wanna detonate lol
also, would all this be safe running on the stock AST ? i'm not sure i wanna go aluminum AST cause i read some stuff about the possiblity that it could explode (when you you take off the cap or something like that)
