Well this has been a while coming since I've had the tune for a little bit now. Firstly, I would like to say that Bronson is excellent to deal with and is loyal to his word. I went ahead and got a package deal with him with just the standard tune and the Forge intake that goes along with it. The downpipe is a EuroCustoms 3".
I had no issues dealing with Bronson and I sent out the ECU and got it back quickly. I'm sorry, but I'm not going to pay 100-200 or more to do the little bit of work I could do myself. DM did not charge for the flash, so I get all of the money in the tune and not the BS overcharging many places seem to do these days.
The DP, has a great sound, but mild. It's not an APR, but most of you know (or should) that a 3" piece of pipe is a 3" piece of pipe. The welds are done nicely and while it's a 2 piece pipe with a v-band clamp in the middle, after you drive it a while and then retorque it, there are no issues with exhaust leaks, though just for the sake of doing it I may just get the 2 welded together at a later time.
The intake was an issue for me. This is not the fault of DM, nor am I blaming them. The version of their MK6 there (overseas) doesn't have the same location for some of the brake lines and master cylinder. Anyway, I have had a lot of rattles and have had to adjust and re-adjust it to get it right over the brake lines, though from what I've read, this isn't a new issue. The quality of the piece itself is nice. It's a solid piece that has several silicone couplers so that you can adjust each part the way you want to if you so desire.
So how does the car pull? Well, it pulls REALLY hard. It's very deceptive and I can feel the power still being very linear as the OE set-up is, at highway speeds with either staying in 6th or kicking it down to 5th gear will easily have you to 100 mph+ without even realizing it. I will try to get a video of some runs posted up in the next week or two and you all can have a better idea of how it runs. Overall for the money I paid in total, I'm quite happy with it and would do it again.
Lastly, the mileage has increased and the typical trip I make during the week I can get mid to high 34 mpg, I am now (driving the same way) getting 35.8-36 mpg avg. This is perhaps the best part
