Car feels amazing. Traction issues in 3rd on tires not up to temp. Also on any uphill even if it's slight. But it's always manageable. I feel like i can modulate much better with a stick but that may be in my head. I guess i should add a wider rear setup now that I'm typing this out. The car is an absolute monster on the highway. My s4 would eat this car off the line but I've never felt anything like this on the highway. I joke with my buddy that the m1/2 buttons are like push to pass/DRS now. I find myself using comfort a lot more now. I couldn't stand it before. Even in the settings it was intended for.

Sounds like a riot! I’ll have to reach out to Carbahn and confirm how legit their warranty is before I pull the trigger, but I’m sold. |

I had a software issue cause a fault on the car (hesitation at high rpm). Steve Dinan himself called me on the Fourth of July, discussed the issue with me, and then told me to take it to the dealer, have them read the codes and send the results to Carbahn. They determined that it was an error in the programming and instructed me to have the dealer pull the ECU, ship it to them, they'd reflash it and send it back to the dealer for installation. Total out of pocket cost for me? $0.00-- not a penny. They stand by their warranty, and Chris (and Steve) couldn't have been better about it. |

I've ran both AlpineMSS and Bootmod3.
Power felt similar on both but bootmod3 felt more violent for sure. Drivability wise, AlpineMSS was more drivable, bm3 feels more thrilling if that makes sense. Both are great, although I do prefer the support and drivability of AlpineMSS. |

"A note on down pipes (removing the catalyst). We have run back to back dyno runs with the cat on and off and the power gain is much smaller than most people claim. We all need to breathe the air. Its difficult to get your car its required emissions test without catalyst and it’s illegal." |
