RENNtech Stage 2 ECU and Akrapovic Exhaust Dyno Results... Pics Soon :)
Hey everyone,
I just go my car back from Renntech...They installed their Ecu Stage 2 tune and the Akrapovic Exhaust (Evolution). Just thought I'd share with you guys the dyno results. The car felt great on the way back from the dealership.
That's pretty much all I can say about it right now since I was only in it for about 15 minutes. Please let me know if you have any questions.
Thanks,
Tyler
P.S. I'll try to put some pics up tomorrow!

Congrats, welcome to the Akra club... gains look right where they should be, I love how on the RENNtech tunes you pick up power throughout the whole power band not just on the top end.

I told you you'd like it
So did you happen to catch the RENNtech airbox group buy I linked to in the other thread?

What I'd rather know is why RT shorty headers for the BS make no power....

And those are only the ones I know about... I'm sure there are plenty others. I do agree, however, that they do not make as much power as their long-tube headers. Also, despite the fact that short-style headers make less power, I'm pretty sure RENNtech created them specifically for those of us who are looking for as much hp gain as possible without having to deal with smog issues. Plus, it offers a simple bolt-on design that is easy to put-on and take-off without messing with the rest of the exhaust system.
To the OP: where are the pictures and videos we were promised?

I'd like to see how much power the Renntech shorties make in comparison to the PLM exhaust manifolds that Superlubricity tested. But then again, we need to start another thread on that subject matter.
Back to your regularly scheduled programming (back on topic)...........
Are the Akra mufflers baffled?

Not sure if you are referring to headers only or headers + tune. In terms of headers + tune, I've seen the shorty headers make power on 3 different black series, one CLS63, and an E63 And those are only the ones I know about... I'm sure there are plenty others. I do agree, however, that they do not make as much power as their long-tube headers.
