Default Breakin Before Mods?
Hey everyone! Just picked up a brand new 16 GT Premium Performance Package with Recaro seats. I'm in love so far.

Wondering if I should wait until the 1000 mile break in before I toss an exhaust on it, any thoughts?

Mine came with a catback already on it. It really doesn't make any difference.

nope, it makes no difference whatsoever. the "break in" period in modern cars is a myth.

No break-in period necessary, especially with a bolt-on exhaust. Personally, I'd hold off till 8-10k miles with things like a tuner as they void warranty; if something were to go wrong with your car that would be covered under warranty it'll likely start to show in the first 8-10k. If you don't care about warranty then mod away though
