and didnt you use a lower map?

we all know there are options out there but as Onfire has stated, it truly is just a plug and play and walk away.
I used a lower map for about 400 miles and then just went to Race mode #nopatience

Nice to meet you.
Tried it Map7 R mode and the car squirmed like never before, was grappling for traction, and again that's never been an issue before!! I have always felt it wasn't as peppy as the S8 APR Stage II but this way it's a little more and if I dare say I never felt that a car would leave me not wanting more power with AWD, but I guess this is where I am!! But exhaust sucks?!

Hey guys with Comp Package and upgrading to Akra or what not, please LET ME KNOW IF YOU WANNA GET RID IF YOUR AND I WILL GET IT PICKED UP FEOM YOUR PLACE BY FEDEX!!

Thanks
R33-RGSuppet couldn't be possibly more helpful and that's very very important!!
I am happier even more than APR considering pricing and the ease of install!!

Wait just the other day you were posting about how much you enjoy the exhaust.... did your "placebo" wear off that fast? I did say in that thread that you would want a new exhaust. I think with more power one also wants more sound to accompany it. There are alot of good options out there that do not cost as much as Akra (I had Akra on my 16 M5 and its amazing though).

I had the CE exhaust on my FE from the factory--- the lift over the non CE exhaust was not enough for me and I fear it will be the same for you. My friend has a non CE 19 and pulled the center resonator. Wow what a nice cheap mod and a huge gain in decibels and exhaust note(s). Try that first as its probably a 200 to 300 dollar mod at most.

Agreed. The M Sport center section is not going to give you the gains you want. Replacing resonator with X-pipe or go with a cat back system.

Is there a difference between the RC for the base and competition model or are they interchangeable?
