Re: 159 3.2 Tuning

jonnyboy,I thought there was definitely less drone when I put just the exhausts on,(I went for a long drive ),however I did have the new cats already on.When I put the center pipe on everything improved,but there was more noise at cruising but only when I accelerated and instead of drone it was just louder,but definitley not worse as the drone was replaced by exhaust noise.The center pipe will make the car better but it will make it louder but I think in a good way.I personally wish it was louder and more like the alfa jack sound clip I told you about.If you get the cats the performance difference will really please you and make you feel it was all worthwhile,it really does transform the car;204kw vs 191kw,but the ECU will take 20 minutes of driving to adjust.Next year I will get the Autodelta remap but I will do a before and after dyno test to see if it works with the new cats and exhaust.If it does that will be 214KW an extra 23kw nearly 300hp(294hp) other than the dreadful gearbox to me the car will be nearly perfect.
