SWEET, I can't wait! And I think that even if you dont have emission testing in your state, its a federal law you must comply with.

HAHAHA yes, only if they catch you. Well if I do have this done, I wont tell anyone. Still exploring it.

I had planned on gutting my DPs, even purchased a spare set to do the work and PC them; sold the reliable 905355 for I had the chance to install...
Kyle has the spare set now...

Yep, I made my own FULLY cat-less DPs'...no pre-cats and no cats...WORLD of difference....probably to the tune of 30-40whp. VERY noticeable...

Tim, did you gut both cats on each pipe, or the pre cat only?

Mike, do you think gutting the main cat(larger one) had a large difference? Or the main difference is the pre cat?

Ben, I still have that extra set laying in my garage. Been meaning to do this for a almost a year now!

Just gutted downpipes - lower cats are still in place. I feel it's a conservative 5-8% power gain. Swapping out lower cat's with straight pipes or making different downpipes I well believe provides an additional 10-15% power gain minimum. Or as Mike states a couple of posts above - 30-40WHP. Noticeable and then some. When I purchased my second beast with Marc's tune in it, I initially ran high 11's with it. After gutting the down pipes and a couple of other minor mods, there was a solid improvement of 2 tenths of a second which I figure was worth 25hp or slighlty more.

I need to reach out to Marc about the tune and I need to talk to you Stewart about the cats.

**mbagge01** · February 3rd, 2015, 03:22

I would like to get a hold of Marc also as I would like to get his tune

**TMAC** · February 3rd, 2015, 22:09

I should be sending my ECU out to Marc tomorrow! Now I need the MTM TCU tune. That seems to be more difficult to find. Any suggestions? I am in FL.

Ontario Canada MTM. There is also Viper in the UK, well regarded.

I switched from the AWE tune my car came with to Marc's. Very pronounced difference. Adding gutted DP's I got from Kendrish next week....can't wait. 45 to 105mph pulls are honey badger like .

**TMAC** · February 4th, 2015, 19:42

My ECU was shipped out today! I also contacted the two MTM North American dealers about the TCU tune. I need to find someone in my area that can solder the chip in from what I am hearing. I wish there was a local dealer but I guess I am out of luck.

**s8prtotype** · February 4th, 2015, 19:59

Let us know who you find on the MTM and how much, thanks man!

Almost 100% Canada is only option, should take a week, $150. It's a minor change in shifting performance, good. Big change is increasing valve body pressure, quickly slams the clutch plates together. You might be able to just pull the vb out of the trans and have that upgraded by a trans shop.

**TMAC** · February 4th, 2015, 20:26

Iswing, I was already in touch with the Canadian dealer but I still have to find someone to install the chip on the TCU. There is a Miami based MTM dealer I spoke with this morning who is much closer to me as I am in Tampa, FL. I was asked to provide info from my TCU before the Miami dealer could confirm if they were able to provide me with the chip or if I would have to ship my TCU to MTM in Germany. Either way right now there doesn't seem to be an easy way to get this done. I really want this done therefore I will keep drilling away to find a dealer and the best option. I will keep the board posted.

Got it! Find someone who guaranties their work. My shop soldered in my first one, didn't work, bricked the TCU, $500 later I had a new one

Only time I've heard of this, but the pins are really small.

That is exactly what I am worried about. My car isn't a DD but still, I don't want added drama.
