Default but bugs still pop up and they can be catastrophic

I just feel like a small discount isn't worth being a guinea pig for.

Default I'm with you there, and I'm proud of the beta testers as they are paving the way for something

I'd potentially do in the future..

Default I'm not sure that I would consider having to run 2x the boost to make similar power is a plus...

Why run 10.5psi to make 400 (supposed since I still haven't seen a plot) when you can make 370 at 5.5psi?

Default Exactly, discounts for beta testing an exhaust would work, lol, not something that can go boom.

chakalaka! </90s>


there are quite a few old r32 owners that had crappy beta testing experiences..lotsa stories on the web where R&D was done on beta tester cars, so more like alpha or even pre.

Default honestly, I don't think that he was criticizing anything, sir.

unless complaining about the **** water that serves as 91 octane in CA qualifies as criticism.

Default I think most people will feel the same. I can certainly understand that.

At the very least, this isn't like PES Tuning's beta program, where the discount is, you pay $500 less than retail with no install charges for a kit that has never even been completed. Never started up, never run, never dynoed. In that case, I felt the exact same way as you and couldn't go through with it.

But again, most people will have the same concern as you and I understand. It would be silly for me to try and argue away someone's fear.

Awesome! Glad to hear you're moving forward with it. I guess you don't need the stock exhaust :-p
