I couldn't tell you, cause in my opinion you don't need a strut bar just a waste on these cars since the suspension is already amazing

The hood liner will not be an issue, we were able to fit 3"piping no problem in there with no touching

So I thought I had it straight , but maybe I am just reading some posts wrong.

as far as the GT TUNER vs the Cable: this is an either or thing? I can either get the cable that will allow me to adjust things with a laptop OR get a GT TUNER and have Vince take care of it through a reflash?

Why didnt they use 3" for the final product that would be cool except the intercooler has only 2.5' outlets anyway, but it would look good.

Yes it is either or.

Get the cable and you can use your lap top for everything, Use the GT tuner and just upload the tune

the cable doesn't let you change things still But it runs the program through your laptop .. everything is still through vince but you never have to return anything and it allows you to flash other people as well ... if you'd like im me on aim or pm me

Why would it be too big the DP is 3" and the Catback is if you have an aftermarket one. It makes sense if you think about why should the exhaust be bigger than the intake? It should not. They should be the same size.

Yes, I said that in one of my previos post about it being pointless unless the intercooler had larger outlets. I would look nice and would have the ability to flow way more than the 2.5"

Especially once the stock turbo is replaced with bigger one. We just need the injection time problem fixed and there will be 450+ whp LNFs that rev to 8000 RPMS. Then the 3" charge piping and a much higher flow intercooler will come in handy.

So why do people get the GTTuner and not just the cable, seems if that you are going to constantly upgrade, then there is no point to the tuner except if you are going to flash it only once. I am sure that the cable wont sync with my ECU , if that were the case , Vince would sell 2 tunes and there would be 50 cars running around with that tune. no Bueno for biz.

The tune and the cable are together $500 with 250 tune + cable 250 ???

1. can you data log with the wire or does only trifecta/clearimage have access to that?
