Thanks for the teaser...
Sounds great. Deep and throaty no pun intended. Moar!

So I posted over on Bob MG thread but saw the reference to smell here.
Rboosted717 - Based on your thread and Bob MG comment, you do not currently have the ESS Tune correct? Bob MG - I will have your identical setup, I suspect I will have similar results and not have "smell" issues. I imagine ESS addresses the variables. My stuff should start arriving next week. Thx |

Ah. Got it. Thx for the info.
I will have a 93 octane tune which will adapt up to 96 octane. I will also have a 100 octane tune for the cam-2 fuel I can get down the street. I will probably do a mix of 93 and 100 to get around 96-98 octane. I will be at the same level as Bob MG after the conversion from RON to AKI here in the states. |

RON x .95 = AKI (US Octane Rating)
98 RON x.95 ~ 93 AKI 100 RON x .95 ~ 95 AKI So in theory: 100 AKI x 1.05 ~ 105 RON The calcs are a bit more complex but this is an easy way of looking at it for simple minded folks like myself. |

Truck sounds great! Did the exhaust get louder after break-in? How's the truck holding up? Is the tune spot on? Idle well? Any surge or bucking during low rpm?

Ok Rboosted...
After reading this and Bob MG's thread I've committed to IND and ordered the Catless Akra + Akra Evo + ESS tune!! Would love your Downpipe removal / install tips!! Did you retain the factory heat shields? Truck going strong still?

I am constantly rolling down my windows so I can hear the beast! No drone either. No regrets with the turbo back catless Akra!

ECU Programming
@Rboosted717
Did you also do the ECU programming? I read on the Akrapovic website, that it is required for the downpipes!If yes, does that mean I will loose my warranty? |
