0-60mph??

I did, and have to say, thoroughly impressed, enough to go to two gas stations in order to get my 93 at one and e85 at another......I like it....I'll probably switch to map1 when I take road trips, as 93 or e85 are not available as much where I drive to monthly. I just wish there was a little more exhaust sound! My other car is an Audi s8, and when in sport mode, the exhaust valves open up and there is no denying there's a TT V8 involved.....

Awesome and I love it. Thank you for taking the time. Ima do the same and order a pallet of VP octane booster lol

also I felt the same with the exhaust so Ima do this on Nov 10 with my local performance muffler shop that did my C6ZO6 and my W204 coupes and cat back.

Simple performance muffler swap. Get the hangers and mounts all lined up like factory.

Did you need to weld the connection? Can you record the sound increase? What about any hp or torque changes? Do you have a downpipe strategy?

Looks

Did you need welding done

I will I’m sure but I’ll keep the stocker for when I sell if someone doesn’t like the sportier grower. Nov 10th she gets the modification.

For downpipe, i plan on measuring stock vband size, stock lower flange size, and ordering flanges and some mandrel bent stainless steel and making my own.

I can’t wait to hear about the down pipe project! Thanks brother

I managed to get a valid draggy 0-60, traffic didn't allow for full 1/8th or 1/4 mile....has 20% e85, running map2 with the bmw k&n panel air filter....

For comparison, the 2023 BMW x5 40i xdrive does 5.3 seconds 0-60 stock, with a similar powerplant, the CX-90 Turbo S did 6.5 second 0-60 stock (car magazine times) I think I can do better if I play around with it....a low 5 maybe? Who knows, still feels pretty quick for a crossover/ suv IMO

Curious how this ends up sounding, hopefully, not a lot of drone at highway speeds....my 2016 Taurus SHO ( twin turbo v6) sounded horrible after I upgraded the axle backs with MRT mufflers, so bad, I sold the car and bought the S8... also, what tires are those?

I hear you which is why I went Borla. In my opinion just a muffler mod will give me the around town bark I need to allow the cars character to be matched with its performance with the map 2 on the JB4 tuner. Just need something. It needs like 15% more than stock. Let’s see where she lands on Nov 7. I can’t wait.

here are the tires. I’ve run them on two previous GLS550 and currently on our tank 2016 Yukon XL towing family SUV with great performance and wear results.

BIG NEWS, I was just messaged by another company local to me, working out the details currently, but if all goes well, there will be an intake, bolt on exhaust, and another tune on the market. Once I hear back about it I will start a new thread

Okay couple hundred miles on the new setup and no drone at all at 70mph on the highway. Here are some of my video links of my set up. Very happy

I can’t wait to hear more details especially on the intake. Thx for sharing

Unsure about a map for 93, as they are located in ca with me, where the highest I've seen out here is 91. Unsure on map updates as well. I would imagine as both motors are basically identical just map differences from factory, it wouldn't be too much different in terms of gains. I have the smart phone kit on mine, and it still has a wire through the fire wall as it plugs into the obd2 port.

very different compression ratio check mazda web site

Apples to Apples . BMW 5.3 may come from C&D, CX-90 6.5 from Edmund or similar sites. From C&D; BMW 5.3 vs CX-90 6.2-6.4, while tested by same team. Mototrend tested Toyota Grand Highlander 8.3 0-60 and C&D 7.0. Random numbers do not have much meaning. Some guy fro Texas on YouTube run CX-90 6.4 on the first attempt and it looked quite casual.

See post #54 in this thread (with Borla mod). Sounds good to me.
