Please consider a solid aluminum charge pipe. You will feel more instant boost effect since the OEM is made out of plastic pipe and it flexes or might break during high boost.
How difficult is it to replace? Would it be reasonable to diy?

Thanks for the recommendation, Ben! Lots and lots of N55 chargepipe replacement DIY videos on youtube. And Ben has a good selection of upgraded chargepipes on his website, too!

Downpipe swap takes about 1-2 hours if you are doing it on the floor.
CEL is hit and miss on Hi-Flow Cat.

Just looked up one of the DIYs, does look simple enough to install. Might just have to do it as a preventative measure.

What is hit and miss means? Will the CEL go away after turn off and restart the engine?

It may or may not comes on.
It is not guaranteed.
I don't have personal experience on it.
Maybe I'll give it a try on my G30, working on a downpipe soon.

Any other comments on the driveability of the stack with Dinan sport tuner and MPPK? Installed MPPK and wanting a little more sonwas thinking about doing the stack more but dont want to driveability to suffer. Is the power still linear?
