Funny....
Realistically, look at supporting mods as well and learn a little more about your systems first. Stage 2 THRIVES off of a 3 inch exhaust, so you'll need that. No a full body downpipe... Look at maxxfab for an o2 housing and a downpipe at the minimum. There's no better quality part. You don't need to worry about the intake, it will hold you fine on a stage 2. I made the noob mistake and bought a cold air when I could have better spent the 240 buckos. As stated above, look into a wideband O2 setup. Stage 2 runs very rich, so you'll want to get a Map Clamp/SAFC/DTEC/SCT as well to lean it out. See: Tuning. Also what tuning pertains to on our cars. There's a rough start mate... Do some major reading in the performance section and what's hot on the active topics. Ask serious questions and assume nothing. Nobody gets made fun of when they're serious and they've done reading. Search first... ask questions later.
