Default My baby is going under the knife....

Today I am getting a carbon clean, new front brakes, ECU upgrade, and my wife bought me a new H-Pipe and Header spacers.....I am just a little excited about this. These are fairly standard up-grades but the first ones I have done.

Nice! Which tune are you going with? Grab some piggies to go with that H-pipe next!

Let us know what you think about the tune. Most have said it's a very conservative tune. That's what the chart shows as well. But it will be "SAFE" LOL

So I didn't end up getting the carbon clean and spacers because they didn't arrive in time but I did get a chance to drive with the tune and new front brakes. I didn't notice a lot until you got somewhere between 5000-7000...then WOW! You can really feel it pull hard!

I ultimately think it was a wise choice because it was on sale and comes with a warranty. I should have the spacers and carbon clean next week.

You'll feel a diff with the CC. I know I did. Much smoother and picked up some hp. I want to get an H-pipe too next. But I love the sound of catless dp's.
