Piggyback n downpipe for N20 ?

Hi guys, My car is 2015 F30 320i, I want A little upgrade for the performance.

Need your input guys, which piggyback has the best reliability? And has anyone tried Pivot Power Drive PDX-B1 (https://pivotjp.com/product/pdx/pdx-b1-e.html) ?
And for down-pipe, anyone use aFe POWER 48-36303-HC Twisted Steel Down-Pipe, Street Series (http://afepower.com/afe-power-48-363...el-down-pipe-1) ?

I apologize if this question has been covered in any past threads, and I would apperciate your input.

Thanks in advance guys.

320i has low stock boost target and higher compression which you have to be careful with, especially with a piggyback. I would highly recommend waiting a few weeks for PTF Bootmod3 and do a proper flash tune.

I like the AR Design downpipe the best because it has a smooth transition from large diameter to small rather than hard steps like ER and aFe.

Have you looked at the JB4 and ER downpipes?

Mike, does the JB4 + Wagner Catless DP combo also require a FMIC to run on Map 2 on 93 Octane?

Anytime car is pushing more than stock boost i recommend an intercooler for best performance.

That being said, intercooler is not mandatory with map 2
