Once the downpipe is unbolted and the V clamp is removed it should slip off from the rest of the exhaust.

Are you using bootmod3 as a tuner? Bootmod3 can turn off the CEL for the cat removing that fault code from the start.
@MrVuittonDon Жыл бұрын
@@kbautoproject I am not a turner. I figure to use ine of these flash tunes since I don't truly need a standalone ecu it only a b46. DL you recommend BootMod3 over other brands such as JB4 OR MHD?
@kbautoproject Жыл бұрын
I do recommend bootmod3 over those, yes bootmod3 is more expensive but the ability to have a direct way to turn of your CEL and the many different maps you can use depending on what you want for a tune makes up that difference. Plus you get a built in code reader for any other fault codes you may have. There are other coding options you can find that may turn off those faults caused by a custom exhaust system but they won't give you the same performance benefits you get from bootmod3.
