AWE Touring. Just wanted a little more sound on acceleration. I’m used to having a loud exhaust (96 dB) on my ragtop. I’ll probably remove the chrome (black) tips to save a pound or two and will focus on weight reduction next.
What's the diameter on that? I didn't see it on their website . Maybe I'm blind.

Sure! Weights below:
  • 48lbs with front pipe
  • 40lbs without
Keep in mind, our system is full 3" 304 stainless steel with a .065" wall thickness.:thumbsup:

Dave said 3” or did you mean the tips? I haven’t received it yet. Dave or Josh can help for sure.

Bought my 19 PMM 13 days ago. I've owned an 03, 08, amd 15 Si... figured it was time to step it up a notch. No mods yet, but I have Motegi MR924 19x8.5 wrapped with 245-35 Conti a/s ordered.

Omar,
Your tail lights might look like the Opt7 ones I ordered direct from them. Other websites had same tail lights listed (eBay, Walmart) but the orders instantly cancelled once placed. These are easy to install. Recommend you put painters or masking tape below and beside your tail lights and trunk to avoid scratches. Having another person to hold the light is handy, good luck.

TS5's showed up in Techna Bronze. Just need to wait for warmer weather to mount on the car.

Had my first experience with the car on a dyno and it was a bit of a learning experience. Found a few ways to trigger safe mode, which isn't any fun as it requires driving for 20-30 mins to reset. Even following the disable procedure, we found that leaving the parking brake on still triggered it. Also managed to trigger it just by plugging flashpro into my laptop.
Nitro,
Sorry to hear of your troubles and that R went plaid on you. At least there was a way to recover even if a PITA.

You sort of gave me an unintentional warm fuzzy. With your misfortune & issue, I feel even better about leaving tune setting determination to a pro. That allows users to safely select any 3 of 7 eng performance profiles in a phone app enviro( not Bluetooth, direct to the app. I got instructions today but am waiting to run them until all back office authorization is completed, Monday 25th.

I certainly see the easy selection and freedom ECU tunes offer but don’t trust my level of knowledge and lack of experience to keep me safe. I’d be sticking to provided selections but watching tutorials, some of those are created for those with certain mods installed.

It seems a the things safety related are intact with an advanced piggyback system and no need to remember to enable reverse lock out (I read this in disbelief and don’t remember if K or H tune systems,

I’m getting more horsepower at 368 than is able to be put down consistently now and only bolt on right is catback exhaust, and the $50 K&N High-flow air filters, stock box... and the tune and I don’t know if the Tuna decal adds HP.

Same thing planned for tomorrow and with an eTune.
Being a Floridian, that’s one heck of a snorkel you got there, looks barracuda proof.

Not to disturb your warm fuzzy, but I was simply dynoing because I have access to one to get some baseline numbers. D-Rob will be the one doing the tuning once I get my mods installed. Personally, the idea of a piggyback system terrifies me. But I am interested to hear how it works out for you long term.

Thanks Nitro, it sounds like you’ve got it all under control. Keep us posted how your tune goes please.

Terrified? Not sure I want to know why pork spine causes an extreme fear often characterized by screams, sweating, shaking or even nightmares. Relax, I have a zeroing plug.

Also have more eye candy today without any practical benefit.
