Modding before break in procedure done?

Jordo!

Provided you follow a proper break in procedure, it doesn't really matter...

but then again, why add power-ups to a car you won't be thrashing right away?

Also, if you plan to dyno, dyno after break in, get a baseline, and then go back to redyno after adding a mod you know exactly how much each mod added

GF got me a tanabe exhaust... and it tempeted me to get it on before the break in is done, and that is what happened, but i drive careful regardless.

Jordo!

Ehh.. sure -- why not? Just follow the break in procedure and you should be fine.

You'll be fine OP! i had the same exhaust and Post MAF tubes installed the first week i took delivery, i had 40 miles on the odometer then 6.6 when i picked her up (no other exhaust would do for me). As a matter of fact, i have 500 miles on my girl now, 700 until i'm done with break in. Following break in isn't a problem with the Tanabe, 4K RPM is when she she starts to sound even more amazing, big difference from stock and you know the exhaust is breathing better.

Im not hardcore.. pretty simple guy. I wanted it for sound and she surprised me. I won't be modding much or running to the dyno any time soon.
