Yep. Not a sound I really like, but it doesn't seem to be an issue and I'll take the extra power.

It really sounds much better with catless headers for some reason -- maybe the tune doesn't need to overcome as much of a restriction on that range. But it is certainly there and perfectly harmless as far as we all know.

Thanks all. Its great to have this owners thread where we can compare notes and mutually surf the learning curve.

Thanks for the video!

But dude, next time you work on your car - take off the watch and wedding ring!!!!

You don't want them coming in contact with anything electrical on the car... or else you'll cook that body part off in seconds!

I'll be honest, I'm a little old fashioned when it comes to the ring. I never take it off. As for the watch I usually remove it when working on anything. Im surprised I kept it on.

But good tips! Thanks!

Not to freak you out but... this is what happens when a wedding ring gets a dose of electricity from the battery.

From Popular Mechanics... "Car batteries store an enormous amount of energy, and they're optimized to deliver it in a very short period of time. A shorted car battery can easily deliver several hundred amps -- more than an arc-welding machine. Within a second, my friend's wedding ring was almost red-hot, and only a fast reaction with his other hand to break the connection by hitting the wrench prevented it from remaining connected long enough to melt. The ring had to be sawed off his finger at the emergency room, and it was more than a month before the burn specialist was sure he wouldn't lose the finger altogether. "

In high school in the 80s - I personally saw a demo of a wedding ring versus jump start cables - the ring went RED hot in less than a second. I don't mean to harp on you man, but your install vid gets A LOT of views and a lot of the young guys have never taken an autoshop class in their lives.

I apologize again for hijacking your thread. The install vid you did is awesome.

I appreciate it bro. I really do. I'll keep this in mind next time I work on the car. And by keep it in mind I mean I'll remove it.

For the tune via OFT, we have to use the specific ESC beta maps (2.01 as of now). I don't see any ESC files in the 2.061 release from Sept 6.

Just confirming. Also confused why we needed to send Vish our stock file the first time, but now we can just use the ESC files right off the site?

Auto-X last week on stock prius tires, beat a GTR on raw time, just sayin.

Fun kit!
