thanks for sharing and further details/comments/experiences are much appreciated...

You're choosing between two good choices. If you pick Evolve, I guarantee you will not be disappointed! Other things to help narrow down your decision would be to inquire about how much re-tunes cause, how easy is it to contact them for support, etc...

From my personal experience, Evolve has been the best and only treated me with kindness.

As usual you always seem to be able to pick up on the real differences.

Look forward to getting our valve based E-Tronic on it .... One day :-)

Thank you Sal! I try to be honest and realistic with my thoughts on everything on my cars. Thank you for all the help and great patience with my endless questions and requests, haha.

I definitely need to get one of those E-Tronic Exhausts one day. If only the E46 M3 wasn't sucking up so much of my car funds right now, haha...

E-tronic for E46 coming soon too so I guess it will be sucking some more until the s65 gets more attention!

Haha...yup, I am purposely holding back to make sure I'll be the first to purchase that from you all! That and the OEM CSL CF Roof are pretty much the last mods for the E46 M3. Then rest will be used to maintain the car throughout it's track abuse this year :thump:

Hopefully next year the E90 M3 will have a big spinning piece of metal under the hood from you as well

I have nothing but praise on the transformation that took place when Evolve loaded their software. I never thought that a tune would make such a difference on an N/A car.

We don't charge a difference for them, you buy a tune based on whatever mods you currently have.

Is that true? I should consult Sal again because I just took off my 100 cel akras and put on a catless mastermind...but sal said I didn't need a new tune...so do I need one or no?

Paul is referring to the primary CATS.

Not a problem at all. Weather is starting to finally stabilize over here in Chicago. Hopefully I can find some down time to do some back to back dyno results.
