Stock piping and turbos

what does everyone do with their stock intakes down pipes and turbos? do any vendors that rebuild them take the old cores?

i would say its best to keep your intake alone. in stock form, it draws air directly from the front of your car. I honestly think your intake design from the factory is better then any silly piping that people add to their cars, especially the little cone air filters that attach near your engine which draw HOT AIR into your car. intake modifications will give you more induction sound, but the gains will be minimal - a placebo effect if anything. generally, the vendor will not take your stock parts from you after they replace it. as for your downpipe, highly recommended you replace yours and then remove secondary cats for peak performance. this setup sounds amazing with your stock muffler- no need to spend money on a catback or even axleback. you can always upgrade your turbos if you are looking for more power.
