I’m not trying to void my warranty right away so I was thinking that the JB4 would be the best tune for now, am I right or is there something out there that is better?
I’m also looking for a downpipe that gives the best results, sound, and still decent to listen to while driving long distances.
Im open to all advice and further suggestions on next mods to make!

If you really want to keep your warranty and worry about NOTHING.. do nothing to the car.

JB4 and flashing CAN void the warranty if caught.

If you are hard pressed NOT to flash the ECU, then YES, JB4 is the ONLY way I would go.

Proven product with active support from the company.

BM3 is a flash. JB4 is a piggyback. BM3, MHD, Ecutek, MGFlasher are all flash based tuning platforms. The JB4 is a piggyback therefore doesn't alter the actual ECU flash data which can void your warranty EASILY. However, the JB4 can too if its found, or the dealer looks deep enough into the ECU.
of all the options, JB4 is safest for keeping warranty, but its not bullet proof. A proper flash is Ideal, but not for someone conerned with warranty. If you are really really concerned with warranty, leave th car alone until you don't care about warranty anymore.

Catless downpipe on an untuned car will throw a CEL. if you're ok with that, its fine. otherwise you need a flash tune for the light.

I think I’ll say the hell with warranty. If they dig, they dig, if not they won’t. So I’ll go with ecutek Mikey botti tune.
try to find the right catless dp.
and anything else I would need to not fuck the car up

Most of the catless DPs arent going to make that much difference in HP. I went with Botti as well and pretty happy with the tune and support so far. Honestly I feel like you cant go wrong with most of the well known tuners like Justin (twisted tuning), Marin, Botti, Goosetuned and Visconti.

If you're going for good power I suggest e50 or flex fuel... Easy 500hp600tq. Good luck!

Why would I pay for a flash to get 450hp when I can pay half for JB4 piggy back and get close to the same?

There's more to tuning than trying to run more boost.
