Seems like the car can be tuned. I will be taking it over to National Speed to have it looked at.

Do you have a 6/20 ecu date? I have a 6/6/20 and have been told by everyone that it canā€™t be tuned.

6/6/20. They said that they are able to do it. They will be calling me back with a quote for everything that I listed for them to do. I'll make sure to get clarification and what they have as a cut off date.

I've had other shops tell me the same thing, but they never even attempted to check if it could be unlocked.

Wow, this would be insane if true. Keep us updated!

Stripped the powder coating from MST and AMS pipes. The pipes were in way rougher shape than I though they would be. Powder coating does a fantastic job of hiding surface imperfections.

I went ahead and finished one pipe. Sanded and polished by hand with a beer. Not perfect, but I love it.

I'll finish the other 2 tomorrow.

Also started grabbing some new bolts for the sensor to add a bit of contrast.

The pipes look even better right now! Nice to have a bit of shiny accents on your car

The downpipe and exhaust were installed today by Tioga over at Automotive Solutions. We added some spring perch spacers and Visconti's ride height sensor bracket. The ride height was also readjusted as well as some repairs of issues from the factory.

The Remark sounds incredible with the AA catted downpipe. I have the AA downpipe and thinking of going this route since itā€™s sporty without being obnoxious with the valve open.

Any drawbacks that you can think of so far?

The only thing I had to do was adjust one of the rear hangers a little bit to get the tips to level out a bit. My wife couldn't notice it lol. But I did. It only took a $2 hose/worm clamp wrapped around the rubber hanger to adjust the Tip.

No issue at all so far. It's so much enjoyable to drive now and the system can be fairly quiet when you need it to be.
