Default Running APR stage 2+ with Turbo back exhaust

After looking at MTM, Abt, and Forge exhaust, driving Abt and MTM chips I decided on APR. I like the mapping on the APR chip better, seems smoother and cuts back at higher end. The Turbo-back exhaust was a pain to ensure no leaks, and seems a little short, inner of the two tips just clearing the rear valiance. Exhaust is loud at low end and tapers off at higher rpms, no more stealth sedan. Loads more torque and power, and top-end is fine, wraps the speedo if your not paying attention, I live in Germany before the lectures begin!

Default I agree w/ chip and exhaust. Add a shifter also if it's a 6-speed.

You can spend more, but for economical performance, I suggest GIAC chip and Borla exhaust. That's an afordable combination that can hold its own. For close to $1500 you can have the chip, exhaust and a short shifter.

Call Mike at AWE Tuning. He'll hook you up...
