^ it is, but not with an aftermarket header.... they used the stock header for the testing. they said with an aftermarket 2.5 would be better...

^ it's not rocket surgery... pick whatever fits in your budget. nothing is gonna give you anything thats "Wow" over the other one... You like the Ark N2... then get it. If you can afford the P-Tuning or Dezod, then get that one...

I say that to mock people when they can't figure things out...

"It's not Rocket Surgery"

"It's not Brain Science!"

Glad I made you guys laugh...

cause.... for a few pros and cons.

Cons-
-Lose my 5 year extended warranty (Ask my parents!)
-I was recently in an accident, and even if the supercharger was on the car, I'd be screwed. Let alone putting a turbo on
-A lot of maintenance and care

Pros-
-A lot faster

doesn't it suck when mommy and daddy own the car and not you?
it's wonderful seeing your name on the registration, and knowing it's actually your car and not mom and pop.
If I could have afforded it, I would have done the Turbo. But the $ isn't there.

I know, I consider myself spoiled.
But the extended warranty really wasn't necessary.

Here in lies the problem still...aftermarket header / s-pipe...not good for the warranty, and there is also a lot of maintenance and care with the s/c...forced induction always takes more maintenance and care because of the added stress put on the engine...

but i do like the sound of your setup...but i think that either the strup or the DC header would be better with it IMO

i was debating pretty much the exact set up you're goin for. i just got the MMW header and Injen CAI (now for sale ), never got the chance to install. my next step was deciding on which exhaust. here's my poll from earlier this month.. ARK and Paul Dezod chimed in on the bottom of the page, if that helps any.
another popular option is goin custom exhaust.
