Yes it should be fine, main effect of these mods will be on the noise the car produces, i.e. it'll sound much nicer than std. You might get a few extra ponies.

Should have about 10bhp extra from that at the top end and no danger of it running lean - will be perfectly safe. Only thing you might notice is at very low revs, pulling away etc, it's not quite as nice as a standard car - it's a tiny compromise for the sound improvement and slight power increase.

I've had almost the same done to my car mate but i did the down pipe not center. you should have no probs at all. i might consider fitting a boost gauge to keep an eye out incase you start to get a bit of over boost. hth
