just curious if anyone has the FVD Brombacher 340hp level 2 kit installed on their car - great sport muffler sound and curious of any glitches or issues with software?

GREAT QUESTION! I've strongly been considering it... will be interesting to see what the experiences have been with it before I drop the $4k for the kit.

I installed the DIY intake for $35... Silicon hose, removing the resonator in the airbox, capping it off, then plan to get the EVOMS tune and Agency Power Mufflers for $900... I truly figure for $2,000 I will achieve the same gains... Just food for thought

That's actually a lot for the money.

Headers run $1,000-1,500
Mufflers run $1,200-$1,800
Intakes $500
ECU Tunes $900-$1200

On top of that, its all made to work together. If you're looking to eventually check all of these boxes anyway, this doesn't actually seem like too bad of deal despite the price. Sum of the parts type thing.

Approx... $120 per pony. I'm still a bit on the fence, but considering it.

If you compare it to their stage one, that extra 5hp seems to cost the most making the stage 1 a better value.

IMO, you will get more gains with ecu and cat upgrade over the header/exhaust combo for the $.

2002 C4S i am buying and just sent deposit has the FVD Brombacher level 2 kit installed - saw/listened to video of car and the sound is remarkably similar to the stock sport muffler system i had one of my other C4S's

curious if the setup requires any software upgrades or "dialing in" - haven't heard about any issues from seller and from what i've read they seem to be fairly bulletproof.

Id like to see some real world before/after dyno runs before coughing up 120/hp.

The stage two should've come with a tuned ecu for the setup already. Also FVD's tune claims that ecu will adjust to any other minor bolt ons as well automatically.
