Good info Flo, really appreciate it. Regarding the tune, I've been curious if it makes comfort mode (neither sport/sp activated) is like having sport or sport plus active? Does that make sense? I'm wondering if sport and sport plus are now not as dramatic of a difference in overall response and delivery now that you have a tune; the baseline seems to be a noticeable difference, so does it "neuter" the other two modes? Hope that makes sense.

 

Hey man, that's a great question. Unfortunately I can't really say because I never run the car in comfort mode. By the time I hit the end of the driveway its already been placed into Sport. I will say that there is still a difference between Sport & Sport Plus, almost identical as before as far as the characteristic change of the car, shifts, etc. I feel the difference via the tune in Sport & SP, but I still also feel the difference between those two mods if that makes sense. Thus, this would lead me to believe that comfort still feels washed down when compared to S & SP. How much? Can't say for certain. Next time I drive it I'll have to get it a go.

 

LGARCIA what made you decide for the Savini's wheels instead of the Vorsteiner's? just wondering... yes, the gloss graphite is the color I am after as well, good contrast against the Red Carmine on my Pani. And for sure I will share some pics when I get them... thanks.

 

 

Well that's promising, my concern was it would be like the car was in sport/sp all the time and essentially render the two modes seemingly useless. I'm excited to hear what's up when you get a better feel for the tune in all modes.

 

LGARCIA, seems you got a great deal! they are both pretty much the same design, where did you buy them? if you don't mind me asking... I know Vendors run specials at different times and would like to take advantage of that... thanks!

 

Looking good brother, Savini Wheels are looking sharp.

 

 

Flo, try the link below. i rolled my car out out of the garage the other day to try out the old go pro and see if i could work on getting some sound clips. it's short and tried to do it from a little bit of a distance instead of right on top of exhaust. hopefully the weather will clear up this weekend and i can get out and try to get some drive by's, interior sound and rev's away from the neighborhood so i don't upset the neighbors. it sounds raspy in video which may be old go pro but in person sounds mean and mad at the air in the exhaust lol i haven't heard many stock GTS's so i'm curious to see if you think there is a big difference with x-pipe

 

 

looking forward to hearing the difference. i think most of the enjoyment comes from the cockpit when you hear it under load and also blipping for downshift and crackling. I'm sure you should achieve very similar results with magnaflow. i think you are going to like how angry it sounds. you'll notice people snap their head around when you start it up lol.

if you don't mind, can you get a sound clip of before (stock) and after (with magnaflow) and i will try and get some cabin sound clips this weekend.

 

You were definitely right in both the exhaust sounding mad at the air (lol) and it also being angry - I love it!! The downshifts blips are a lot more pronounced and it even has a increased "over run" burble simply from pressing the throttle and letting off (without switching gears). I put together a quick before and after video...nothing special and the quality could be a lot better but it's enough to tell the difference. I think it will be clear what's before & after..

The drive-by at the end was done at about 70% throttle. Only a after clip of that..

If you don't mind me asking, what exactly was it you bought from Magnaflow (part number maybe even a link perhaps)? I wouldn't mind being a bit louder, but the Fabspeed unit is quite expensive for what it is. If you got that sound for $200bucks I'd say that's pretty damn awesome.
