compatible with an RPI exhaust.... Go with the RPI/ESS tune....it's always good to go with the same brand as products are designed to work together, sometimes mixing and matching brands can be counter productive....

Definitely NOT Powerchip, and RPI can explain why. They don't actually give any performance gains which is why RPI doesn't use/recommend them. ESS is the best way to go, and if you're in Cali the only authorized ESS vendor is RPI
Go with RPI.
