yeah there is noticeable difference from stock to aftermarket

Yes, I was comparing stock to aftermarket, because per the OP's build log he still has a stock front pipe.

@adamg

Took the plunge and ordered one. No biggie. Will get it ceramic coated for shits n giggles. Lets see how it goes.

That collector really worries me, but other than that looks like a solid piece. Nice detailed review...

Wouldn't want to elaborate though, it would be pointless to slag a product with absolutely no explanation.

D_Thissen · 06-11-2015, 04:31 PM

Sure the collector isn't as pretty as Tomei or JDL but its also 1/2 the price of the others. I'm tempted to order one to be honest.

Awaiting dyno

i hate to burst your bubble, but just throwing on a header doesn't make the dip go away, you have to tune that out and the OFT is not going to do what you're hoping. I strongly suggest you find a tuner who can give you a custom tune to experience the best that this mod has to offer.

Didn't say it instantly went away, just saving it feels smoother. And i'm not building a racecar so financially OFT makes sense for me

450 for a little tablet that flashes a rom (not a tune) on your car that wasn't created with your engine or mods in mind that may make things better, worse or no change.

Or would you rather spend 650 for a custom tune that was created for your engine to give you the most reliable bump in power.

your car is worth $20000, is $200 really worth risking it?

Damn dude, did Shiv murder your first born child? You're constantly bashing on the OFT.

Edit: you can also pay an additional 220 for the Openflash team to build you a custom tune, so you still come out ahead of the ecutek
