DTE piggy back tune and exhaust.

Hey all.
I was wondering firstly has anyone done a cat back exhaust system and have had any problems with engine faults? Also has anyone one used DTE Piggy back units? Are they good or is there something else I can use?

Thanks
Alvin.

I have the DTE piggy back on my car, haven't dyno'ed it yet to verify but the car definitely seems a lot quicker. If you're not wanting or able to get the car tuned, it seems like a reasonable option for more power.

How long have you had it on for? And did it change the exhaust note?

It did nothing to change the exhaust note that I could tell; I do however, get A LOT more sound from the Turbo's since they're spinning up a bit more rapidly and certainly spinning faster.

It's a device that using a wiring harness, plugs into the existing harness for some sensors on the engine and this device manipulates the data those sensors provide to the car's ECU in an effort to create more power.

Super simplified version, hope that answers your question.
