Rhitter Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 You have a few options. Listed from least expensive to most expensive. A custom e-tune will always be better than an off the shelf stage 1 tune. 1. Buy a tactrix cable and a custom e-tune. 2. Buy a Cobb AP and run the Stage 1 map 3. Buy a Cobb Ap and get a custom e-tune. My OBXT build Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subi_life Posted November 30, 2015 Author Share Posted November 30, 2015 Ok cool. And do you know what full exhaust system would have a nice rumble instead of sounding like a fart can Honda? Lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MTBwrench Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 Anything really, the rumbles come from having unequal length runners for banks 1&2 in the exhaust manifold. There's an "eBay" catback that's LOUD and cheap, but expect to mess with hangers to get the tips to sit perfectly. You can also get look into Invidia, AVO, Stromung, Borla, and Nameless to name a few off the top of my head! Also, just a moot point, but... A full exhaust on our cars is known as a "turboback", as the downpipe is replaced with something less restrictive. However, replacing the downpipe is known as a stage 2 modification, and you'd have to flash the associated map. For stage 1 purposes, all you'll need is a catback, not a full exhaust.

Killuminati206 Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 Ivery been running stage 1 stock for the last nonth. Yes its worth it. Going stage 2 for tax return. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
08_GT Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 I definitely recommend going the acessport route. It's a bit pricey up front but it's a great tool and has a TON to offer. Add a downpipe and get a E-tune. You will make alot more reliable power than the ots stage 2 map. I'm currently in the process in getting my e-tune over my cobb stage 2 map.
