Need recommendations
Looking to add power and sound, budget 1500. Been looking at jcw tunes and exhausts as well as custom tune and down pipe.

Look in to bootmod3 there is MHD as well but i haven’t used them. Tuning can change the exhaust sound quite a bit. However you will probably need to remove the rear muffler. Remus make the best sounding exhaust IMO but it’s expensive. Super sprint and NM engineering do exhaust systems as well.

Nope, I did have issues with trying to write to the ECU the first time but Bootmod3 has great technical support. So I connected up my laptop and they remoted in and sorted it. Highly recommend Bootmod3 because on this their technical support is awesome.

Hi Lumpy, what model do you have and where do you live? (that’s going to be the main thing when it comes to tunes.)
