I haven't dyno'd it yet, but you definitely feel the low end hit much harder.

The downpipe was installed without the JB4 at first. I did about 5 days of normal driving on just the downpipe (without Jb4) and felt a very large noticeable difference. The noise as well is absolutely intoxicating with the MPE! The downshifts and letting off the throttle just gurgles like crazy. The drone is non-existent for me which is another beautiful thing. I absolutely love it I couldn't be happier. The smell is also non-existent, I don't know if it's just my nose used to the smell. I used to drive a N54 with downpipes prior, so I was used to a bit of a smell... No one has gotten in my car and said "what is that smell" so I guess that is a good thing.

With the JB4 installed, I could feel a little bit more of a difference in the low end but very little up top. Is it worth the $500, yes. Is it like the N54 where is absolutely changes the vehicle every-way possible? No.

So far so good, I love this car.

Any cells during those 5 days of driving with just the down pipe?

No check engine light while driving without a tune. I believe I drove actually for about 8 days, since I had to wait for a new harness from Burger. I was very surprised the CEL didn't illuminate.

Still no CEL to date.

If you put an o2 sensor spacer would that work?

The harness wasn't out when I had ordered.

I'm on Map 2 I believe. (The original map)
