I got the RPi scoop and K&N filter. Also have the B&B exhaust. Should I go Dinan Stage 2 software or keep it at stage 1? Anybody have any feedback for me?

Are there available dyno results for Dinan Stage 2 for a 545?
no idea...LOL. dyno results are only accurate if stage 1 and stage 2 have the same conditions, same car, same dyno, etc.

dump the B&B exhaust, get an RPI exhaust and send them your ecu for a remap....stick with one company for upgrades

What kind of bhp and torque gains can one get if one does the RPI exhaust and ecu remap on a 545 or 550?

I would contact RPI directly to ask for numbers when all products are combined (scoop, remap, exhaust)

You should lose the rear bumper diffuser on your car and spend your money on either the M-Tech with ACS Rear Diffuser or the M5 Rear. I hate to say it Johnny, but that rear on your car looks like a Honda Civic. The new wheels are fantastic though. It really brings the car together. Now just replace that Jappy looking rear and you are set.

Here we go again with the rear setup. John, you won't hear the end of it from C until you replace that. You can bet on it.
