Muffler weld broke, options and questions

[Rgurleyjr]

After reading this and your other threads I am starting to understand that you are going the cheap as hell route. Careful with that, I'm going cheap too but I purchase used brand name stuff, except for my ebay downpipe that I have yet to install. I will be purchasing a cobb AP down the line too for ease of tuning from online vendors.

Now about having easterbunny provide you with proof, I would urge you to search a little further using google. I just pulled up a thread regarding opinions on your tuning device of choice. I know of only one user who has used that device on MSF and he has quite a few mods. Definitely worth your time.
[doublepost=1554410690][/doublepost]Oh, about your muffler question, I am currently rocking a muffler delete with the stock resonator. It burbles good and has a decent rasp. I have come to hate the drone while cruising at highway speed so I am looking at magnaflow's round-straight through mufflers as they come in various sizes, length & girth (giggidy).

Thanks for the info on the resonator and muffler. I either going to shop or buying one and installing.

Regarding the other, I wouldn't say cheap as hell, I'd say just trying to get by as little out of pocket. Why pay 160 for a overpriced Cobb something if a cheaper one is available which is the same thing? After you have owned a number of cars and realize you NEVER get everything you put in out, you realize sometimes cutting costs saved in the long run.

About the hypertech, I'm not blowing smoke saying I have done research. I spent a lot of time on various forums and outside of critics with no to little evidence, a number of users had good things to say. The guy you are talking about is probably msms3 and he had the same mods as me. I'm not pushing the hypertech as better than ap or versatuner...

That's the guy. Slide him a DM and talk shop.

There a reason we use an AP and a reason it costs what it does. You're making a mistake cheaping out on a Hypertech and not being able to fully tune for your modifications. Even if you aren't looking for power, it's not a reliable way to tune your car with your modifications plain and simple. Are you even able to datalog with it? Do you truly know what your car is doing and how it is running? You need to think about this stuff, what you read be damned.
