You'll love it.

Thanks! I really wanted to go full system right away but I could justify spending another $1k for a tune at the moment so I went axle-back for now. Probably around October I'll get the x-pipe and tune

I ran TP's without a tune for 2 months. Honestly you don't need a tune... the little engine light didn't bother me and the emissions warnings that popped up just reminded me just how dirty my girl is

Get the X-pipe or TP's... its the single most powerful mod for NA bar none.

About to give your ears an orgasm. My memory card came in for the GoPro. You'll hear the full system.

lol don't temp me! I have a week off and I can't get the x-pipe delivered to ACM in time to get it done on my week off I am thinking going TP's and tune right on the spot as it would be a little less than the x-pipe but I just know how good the x-pipe sounds. I'd like to hear this system with TP's first before pulling the trigger on that set-up. Decisions decisions lol

Do you guys think the Performance Exhaust is louder?

Haven't heard it in person, I can say it has gotten a bit louder over the past few weeks.

I also am looking into the ESS exhaust. I was able to hear one at the IND install location. I liked it very much. I am wondering, without going over every iteration of exhaust pieces, if test pipes, and rear ESS plus tune is as good as full ESS and tune? I am looking for performance over sound.

I have the ESS rear + ACM test pipes w/ bpm stage II tune and I love the set up! Aggressive but mature sounding but quiet when you want it to be. Give it the beans tho and it sounds incredible!! I highly recommend it. For the price of the full system I got the benefits of the full system and a tune on top of it. The sound is perfect and the gains are very noticeable

We have installed several of our rear sections with our test pipes and tune over the past couple weeks and customers have been very happy with the combination.
