Just how noticeable is OFT+OFH and stage 2 tune?

Night and day.

If you go from the Stock tune straight to header and stage 2, it's VERY noticeable, but the car still isn't going to throw you back in your seat. So much more fun to drive though.

Thanks for the responses everyone, the OFT i ordered from Shiv is arriving this afternoon, I will tune tonight and report back on the results when i have spent some time with it.

I will hold off on the OFH & Stg 2 for now, not because of money, but because I'm so afraid of the coldstarts, ive heard of people's ceiling tiles falling and windows shaking because of the loud cold starts.. When i move away from the suburbs I'll probably get a header for that delicious rumble.

If you are keeping the stock catback, the cold start noise is not loud at all with the OFH.

I have the OFH/OFT and I start my car in a small garage. It's a little louder than before, but nothing that would disrupt anyone.

The extra torque down low from the header is really worth it.

Cat back definitely plays a lot into the loudness factor . You should have no problems with stock .

Did it still give you that rumble?

There is some rumble, but it's not obnoxious.

I have a Perrin 2.5 inch resonated catback exhaust. stock everything else.

I think there might be some videos of that combo, but I'm not sure.

just flashed stage 1 oft tune to my frs 2013 manual. I've noticed that it pulls a little harder, but nothing extraordinary.

Maybe after it breaks in it'll feel more significant.

edit: so i just used the tune the OFT recommended that I use, is that 91 or 93 tune? how would you know?

[jvincent]

Not sure I follow. There are specific 91 and 93 tunes. You flash one or the other depending on which gas you plan on using.

[raven1231]

Yeah, not sure what you mean by the OFT recommended you use?

When I cilck write on the OFT, it gives me 5 options IIRC, stg1 stg2 EL, stg2 UEL, stg2 EL E85, stg2 UEL E85. I just picked stg1...

my OFT came pre loaded w/ the latest tunes i believe.
