I agree speed I want loud but I dont want too much drone...thankfully there is absolutely non with this system at 3000 and above either light or heavy footed...If your heavy footed at 2000 to 2700 its there...
Im going with the protomotive tune. I think you have one if im not mistaken? whats your take? Ive heard nothing but good things about Todd K.

Also im pretty sure the 200 cell cats would eliminate the CEL because Markski told me they would. He said no guarantees with the 100 cells though...Problem is 200 cell is too restricted and too quiet.

On the Proto, i'm pretty happy with it. You won't go wrong with it. Probably one of the better ones to use if you plan doing turbos and other upgrades down the track i suppose. I'm sure there are also other tunes out there that are good too. I don't have any plans to do turbos myself so I actually quite like the sound of the APR which also has the switching on the fly feature. Seems to have the edge on the other stage 1's too with the power especially with 100 oct file. The Greek boys rave about it and has a real fast 60 to 130 time...see member skandalis447 sig. Pretty quick for a tune without turbo upgrades.
Strato sounds to me like you just need to remove those cats altogether and go for max loud lol. JK...

speed, not to hijack this exhaust thread but that APR tune looks interesting and i have not researched it before. Their claimed numbers (im interested in 93 octane because thats all I can get) are they at the wheels or at the crank?
thanks for your help...

OK back onto the exhaust topic, I really dont understand this stuff too well so please bare with me. Isn't the CEL just proof positive that the exhaust you purchased is actually doing what its suppose to do? Flow more exhaust gasses? Is it possible that EP is more restrictive thus the lack of a CEL?

Strato ,.. My understanding is that the less restrictive cats send diffrent cat perameters to the ECU thus creating a CEL. A lamen could mistakenly read the produced code as a bad cat. The bung o2 sensor extensions bring the cat perameters back to acceptable levels for the ECU. Hence no more code.
There are lots of good tunes out there.. Protomotives biggest advantage is you load it your self and keep your stock file (same with Softronic). Also Todd gives you 4 or 5 revisions for no charge. Softronic is similar but I believe you only get 2 revisons.
If you plan on doing more mods down the road Todd's tune is the way to go..
I think you may load the FVD tune yourself as well but I'm not sure...

When I was a kid and rode my bike and I would slap a couple of baseball cards with a clothes drier pin to the back of the rear rim. I could swear it was faster.

I don't think so...neither does the dyno

No just the exhaust and nothing else. I don't know much about the cats but I am assuming the ECU would somehow compensate and adjust itself back to normal? In other words, undo what was done. In all honesty I was just kidding but I am skeptical. I don't have local guys around here that I could drive and test. I would like the sound!

Fortunetely for me I did my mods in stages.. I did the tune first with a modified stock exhaust. I drove the car for a couple months before I got the exhaust. Then I got the exhaust. The difference is dramatic. The Turbos spool quicker, accreleration is better and the car just pulls harder..I was suprised by the performance difference.. I'm sure a 70mm system with 100 cell cats is even better..
