***VX*R8*** Member 202 Member For: 11y 6m 8d Gender: Male Posted 04/11/14 07:21 AM Share Posted 04/11/14 07:21 AM My car (2011 g6et) is going in for a tune in a couple of days and I'm wondering if there's any benefit in removing the restrictor ring from the exhaust before the tune.Car will be stock besides f6 injectors, f6 cooler and xr8 airbox.

I'll have no time to buy a new one before the car has to be at the shop :( Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/89522-cat-restrictor-ring-removal-before-tune/#findComment-1510259 Share on other sites More sharing options...
