2.0 NA catless downpipe tune

[mtking479]

I am about to install my catless downpipe on my 19 2.0 NA and I have a KTuner I have already done borla exhaust and drop in filter with a tube flashed on. I am wondering how I get the downpipe tune or if the tune that I already flashed is sufficient. I emailed the guys at RV6 performance and I was told the tune that’s on right now should be fine and to get a dyno tune at some point. Do I need a different one flashed to my KTuner and to the car or just leave it for now and get a dyno tune?

The current tune/flash offered with the KTuner is sufficient until you're ready for your own dyno tune.
You may get a code (P0139) for the O2 sensor. While you can clear the code, and it will eventually return. RV6 explained that being a possibility, and provided 2 solutions...

1) Adjust the sensor housing, and allow the sensor to sit deeper.
2) Block the code using the KTuner settings when plugged to computer/laptop. This will create a "new" tune to be flashed.

In the event the sensor does go bad at some point, a different code will appear amongst others. I figured this out by keeping tabs on my Air Fuel Ratio using the KTuner V2. I also confirmed this with the mechanic/tuner that helped me block the code.

how bad is the smell in the cabin with the catless pipe?

There isn't one.

There isn't one.

has the gas mileage been affected from messing with the o2 sensors? Are you still running the setup?

 

[MagnanimousOne]

No issues with gas mileage (32+ mpg).

Yes, I am still running the same setup

Perfect, thanks for all the reply’s! Last question is what happens with the eco mode button. Is it still affective after applying ktuner or is it disabled?

No worries.

Yes, it is still functional in all aspects.
