    I just got an AP, but I don't have the complete turbo back exhaust....can I still run stage 2 with the following:

    -Catback exhaust (Greddy Evo2)
    -Borla Headers


    I am planning to get the downpipe and up-pipe in the Spring, but not now. Any thoughts?

    "issues" are all relevant. they all can be a PITA at times, remember, you get what you pay for. but in reality, they are far better than stock without a doubt, and it would allow you to really access the power at hand.

    WG duty cycles will be screwed if you run stage 2 on that.

    Well, really, everything will be screwed since you have a header. Best bet is to keep it stock till you can do the whole thing. The header will effect flow as much as a downpipe, then having the stock downpipe will kill flow. Run just the catback and flash stg1 and call it a day. Once you get the rest of the parts, then you can throw the header in the mix and then you will need a custom tune. Stg2 with a header is not the same as stg2 without a header.
