I got mine from mpracing.org. if you don't send in your PCM first right now it's 130, but if you do send it in first (and can do without your car for a little while) then it's only 70. And no, they're easy to install as I understand it. I got mine halfway out today to look at the number on it so I could order it. just a few bolts and a lever and it's out, and then just plug the other one in. it's really really easy actually haha.

oh yeah and before you do anything else you HAVE to clear your corners!!! people will haggle you until you do, and it's a basically free mod that looks sweet, so why not?

anyone know of some good obd2 tuning software for a laptop?

I keep reading about the B&M and this PCM and putting them together...then getting things reprogrammed...can someone outline the exact course of actions to take when putting these in? Someone told me on my advice seeking thread to mod in the order of: CAI, exhaust, THEN PCM...so what's the full skinny and detailed expo on what it does.

Also, on my Advice and Education thread someone recommended the Monza pacesetter cat back exhaust to me from the mpr site. Adria, you have a muffler too...is that custom? Do I need to get that with the full cat back? I am confused...lol

my cat back system is a custom one from a local shop here. the muffler is a flowmaster 40 series muffler. if you're looking for a cheaper exhaust system i would go custom (that's why i did). you just tell them you want a catback system, the size pipe you want, and then you get to pick a muffler of your choice (i think you have the 3400, so i would recommend a magnaflow or flowmaster, but i haven't heard the pacesetter or anything else like that.. just no fart can please). but the really only custom thing is the pipe, the muffler will be a specific one. does that make any sense? haha

I just looked at all the calibration on the MPR site...it seems cool but all that complexity seems like it could mess things up. Do they really calibrate it that accurately or does it need to be done at a shop? Also, why do they have the fan-on key-off setting? For what? Does it heat your engine that much?

XanderWiFi · 02-24-2009, 02:09 PM

the exhaust thing makes more sense now. Thanks.

it's not going to mess things up, just tune it for best performance with the mods you have. they tune it to your specifications, someone probably knows more than me (cough, ion)... and for the fan-on and key-off, it's to cool the engine down faster, i just set mine to 30 seconds.
