Default Downpipe



Hi everyone, I finally did, the de-catted downpipe is now installed and I must admit that I felt an instant gain. the sound is also a little stronger outside. I should do the tune shortly, so I'll give you more information once spent on the dino. Here is the list of parts that are currently installed;
- AEM intake
-FTP charge pipe
-Muffler delete
-Downpipe
Do you think that once the tune is done, we can say that I am stage 1?
Please check attached picture for your reference

Btw, thank you for the advice with the O2 sensors in your previous post in the IS200T downpipe section. It's help me the fix the CEL.
Im thinking about the burger chip. Easy to install and remove and the gain look reasonable. I think you also have this chip install on your IS ?

No problem! I had the Burger Tuning Stage 1 set at +5 psi on my car and with those bolt ons i was able to make 230whp/280wtq. With the tune you will see a lot of low to mid range power increase which gives a whole new driving experience.
The BMS comes set at +4psi, but if you purchase the data cable you can increase the boost settings with their JB4 application.

Blue- Stock tune
Red- BMS tune

Always flywheel, This accounts for fwd or awd powertrain loss variances.

That dyno posted above was from my car which is an IS200t with a PPE downpipe, FTP charge pipe, TTI turbo muffler delete and K&N drop in filter. Those results are power to the wheels with the stock tune and BMS stage 1 or comparison.

Ah i see. Your stock run was with some hard part mods and no tune, the other run was with hard parts plus tune. So figuring about 270 at the flywheel then, right? Thats about a 47 horse increase. Thats dam good. This is what happens when you type with a migraine...lol
