Hello!
I’ve had my f56 Hyena for about 5 months now, eager to start with power mods. However, I’m having trouble with the order in which to modify in. I’ve already upgraded tires, my next move is either a high flow cat downpipe, or a tune. Which should come first, the downpipe or the tune? I’ve read that cold air intakes don’t do much performance wise for these cars, so only really plan on replacing the filter. I do intend on upgrading intercooler, after tune and downpipe are installed, unless this should happen sooner?
I appreciate any help, thank you!

Brakes - Suspension - Power, in that order, is recommended practice.

There is no point in having a tune first and then installing components such as the intercooler, high flow catalytic converter etc etc etc.

A tune, remap call it what you will, is only as good as the individual who can make the most from the already installed individual components.

and remember, power is nothing without control.

One of those controls is the ability to slow and stop the vehicle, that said I see this one modification more times than I care to remember, the fitting of oversized brake kits for vehicles which spend the majority of their time on the street, this is totally unnecessary.

You go to all the trouble to add power, then add more rotational and unsprung weight from oversized brake assemblies, which is counterintuitive.
