Default mod question

I just ordered a 2002 Electron Blue, 6spd coupe yesterday. I want to purchase the Blackwing intake and Corsa Indy exhaust. How many miles should the car have on it before installing mods on it or does it not matter?

Welcome!

You can replace these parts at anytime. Some wait until the break-in period is over first though. I waited until the car was over the break-in period then modded away :D
Did the same thing . . . :yesnod:

You can add these immediately. Although you might want to wait until after break-in because you'll be wanting to put your foot into it once you get the mods installed.

Actually, do them in a bit. This way you can feel the difference, otherwise, you'll truly never know the stock feeling and how it changes from mod to mod.
