Stages are numbered because they're intended to support certain modifications. If you intend to run the stage 2 tune, I recommend getting a downpipe sooner than later because I know 200tFowl got engine knock when he ran it on the stock downpipe.

From what I understand, this is actually not much of an issue.
The ECU should still retard timing based on the knock sensors. We are not taking out the stock ECU..
I run an AEM EMS on one of my cars, and yes I would agree with you since some tuners usually keep em running on open loop, and if some knocking happends too bad for your motor lol

I agree; plus with the down pipe the car feels so much more responsive! There's one for sale in the classifieds.

I won't say much but it sounds better, feels better, yet because i don't have the down pipe I won't elaborate much more... PPE is still waiting for the custom v-flange in order, they're not sure how much longer but possibly another 2 weeks out.
