Default Getting APR - What to Get With?

I'm considering getting an APR chip installed soon.

Which other components are really worth getting added at the same time?

Would a BPV or exhaust mod really add that much more HP?

Are some essential?

Default BPVs add no HP, they just keep you from loosing boost compared to stock.

upgrading the BPV is a requirement when chipped.

Thanks for the clarification.

By extension, are you also saying that the exhaust isn't really worth it?

Thx,

Default Isn't the APR exhaust plus a bpv the same thing?

If so, consensus seems to be that the cat back isn't worth the $$$.
