JBaja has an automatic too!  :)

With the turbo you will not have to add header as it's already included.

You don't "have" to add a header with a Stage II SC...in fact, there are benefits in not doing so:  first, you retain the superior integrity of the OEM manifold (no leaks, no cracks, decent flow, warranty);  also, you don't really sacrifice much power (headers are useful, mostly, at higher RPM).

My DDM Stage II does just fine with OEM manifold and cat and a Magniflow cat-back ( and, since my car is an '06, I retain a 120,000 mile warranty on the cat).

It's never bad to get what YOU want. Thats what makes it fun!
Go for the SC, you won't be dissapointed. I don't think there is anyone with SC's in the kappa community that wishes they would have gotten a turbo instead & I have not heard of any major issues either from them. If I'm wrong I stand to be corrected.
DDM is a great outfit & they will stand by their products.

GJ, that's what commuting will do for you... THANK GOD I don't have to do that anymore!!!

Yogi, I havn't checked it manually with a calculator, the DIC says my running average arround town is 23MPG & when I was commuting it was averaging 29MPG which is up 4MPG from stock. I can tell you I fill up no more often than I used to.

The fact that you are up 4 mpg from stock is just what I was looking for. 

Thanks!   :thumbs:
