If the plugs need gapping you will soon know however won't do the car any harm if they breakdown.Given that you are going to have to re-gap your plugs prior to a custom tune you may as well do it anyways Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/25292-herrod-stealth-tuner/#findComment-379733 Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was a better option than $950-995 from a business .Can anyone tell me what the T sounds like with the centre muffler removed as HPF has suggested it when the custom tune is done .

You will also get a burble when backing off the accelerator. This will accentuated if you go for straight through pipes as opposed to installing a couple of hotdogs. Some have reported that pipes only cause a bit of droning @ cruise.Why did HPF suggest you remove the centre muffler, was it just for the note?Given that the stock cat is the restriction I wouldn't of thought removing the centre muffler would make any difference to the flow rate of the exhaust.

There are gains to be had by doing it. Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/25292-herrod-stealth-tuner/#findComment-379905 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it provided a small rwkw increase. Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/25292-herrod-stealth-tuner/#findComment-379917 Share on other sites More sharing options...
