Eurocharged Tune & Downpipe Review

I’ve had the Eurocharged tune on the car for about 5000 miles and added their downpipes a few weeks ago. There was a period of few weeks between the two because I had the downpipes sent to Jet-Hot to be coated with their Extreme 2500 ceramic coating. I live in Texas and all work was done by Eurocharged at their Houston location.

Cliff notes: See “giggle like a school girl”

Eurocharged staff: In one word, professional. Everyone I met was courteous and knowledgeable, from the people up front to the techs in back. They’re always upbeat and willing to help. For example, I had a slight rattle and a group of guys worked through their lunch to make sure it was taken care of so I could be on my way.

Tune: Drivability is great. Cruising around in comfort mode, you don’t really notice anything. Everything works just as it should, no functionality lost. Sport and Sport+ modes are snappier. The car pulls like a freight train all the way through the RPM band. I let a friend drive it, who is a Corvette owner, and he is now turning to the dark side.

Downpipes: Beautiful craftsmanship and welding. It’s a shame they’re hidden under everything.
  • Startup - The car really announces its presence when started. There’s no need for the multi-step method to open the exhaust flaps on when starting the car, unless you really want to scream “look at me”.
  • Idle - Standing outside of the car while it’s idling, you know there’s something different because the car now has a low rumble. It’s not obnoxious and not noticeable inside the car.
  • Exhaust “closed” – Nothing appears different when cruising around. It’s slightly louder than stock with the volume increasing as more throttle is applied.
  • Exhaust “open” – There's a slight rumble at idle. The exhaust note is now directly connected to the gas pedal and when accelerating, it roars. Downshifts are an absolute hoot. Parking garages and tunnels bring a smile from the echo.
Overall: I’ve only trusted 2 shops my entire lifetime and I worked at one of them. Eurocharged now has a place on that very short list. They have earned a loyal and repeat customer.

Do you have before and after dynes? I am thinking about maybe making the drive down to Houston for them to install the tune and maybe do DP's as well if the gains are well worth it.

Here's the dyno chart of the Eurocharged C63s shop car, which is identical to mine.

catless downpipes I assume? I would have thought catless dp's into the performance exhaust would be almost obnoxious loud. Do you notice the exhaust smell at stop lights?

edit: woops, I just noticed how old this thread was.
