Whose software will you be using?
Any chance of a video?
Will the owner be dynoing the car?
Any photos of how you installed the vacuum tubing?

Cheers

andrew@southernBM · 02-12-2012, 10:10 PM

ESS Eflash software.
Car is new so maybe dyno it when it has some kilometres on it.

So this person had a tune and a full EVO system installed on their car before the run-in service?

I saw this car today at southern and it sounds amazing. I loved it. Such an aggressive note when the butterflies are open, and at a touch of a button you can silence it.
If only I can get mine to sound like that.

Andrew, does the flapper default to open at each start up or does it revert to or remain at the last setting, closed say? Thanks.

Who needs a flap

Go the full Monty, all the time, I say ....

It makes Harley riders quiver.

Will need to get this soon. Once I found some time. It as been increasingly difficult with a dependent.

Thanks alik01 - She dependent

Haven't even install the other stuff yet!

sparoz · 02-13-2012, 10:25 PM

Andrew, have you tested the difference in droning at cursing speed with and without the akra? I know the solution to the droning is swapping to a N55 mid pipe so I assume the akra should have no drone compare to stock?

No, i haven't. They drone stock, so they will with a louder exhaust i suppose, but that's the value of the wireless kit.
