Ready to race!
So I finally got my Scorpion TBE on Friday, and naturally it made its way to my R Saturday morning I got the Catted Resonated TBE. The install took about 5 hours, a bit less. I did it with 2 buddies, and it was NOT a breeze.. Had to drop the center shaft to get the stock DP out of the engine bay.. It was NOT an easy install, and I should have done my DD before jumping into it.
As for thoughts, its just what I wanted! The car is almost stock at idle, and quite when your just doing city driving. As soon as you get on it, it roars. Almost too loud. The car pulls much better when I get on it, and I cant wait to get flashed for APRs Stage 2+!
I just got a CEL (after about 30 mins of driving), and I still have some sort of rattle coming from underneath that car. It is INSANELY annoying and I need to get it jacked up again to look at it.. Just not sure when Ill have time again..
All in all, im really happy with the pipes. Would have liked for them to be a little bit lower, but ill take what I have
Any thoughts about preventing the CEL? Is the 42DD bung my ONLY option?
EDIT 3 Days after install:
So all issues ironed out. No more rattle and a cleared CEL (APR Stage 2+). I LOVE this TBE! It is BARELY louder than stock when im just cruising around town. It only really gets loud when Im stepping on it, and even then its not outrageous.
I had some issues with the vaccum hose coming out a few times, but I now secured it and ziptied it in and all is well. I would recommend this TBE to everyone looking for one. The gain is pretty substantial and I felt a gain as soon as I installed it. I dont know what the numbers come to, but you can definitely feel a better air flow when you step on it.
Thanks to Matt@GMP for a great product and solid support since I've bought it!
