Ive got money burning s hole in my pocket, and i was looking for someones opinion on getting a borla exhaust or the real ecu. I have a AEM CAI already. Which would give me better gains, and who sells the real ECU. Thanks

you can look at the marketplace and see a buy going on for a Powerchip. The dynos aren't finished yet, but for the expected gains, its a great bang for the buck.

Id do exhaust a Real ECU is only worth the money once you do more upgrades. Why get your ECU to put more out of your stock small a$$ exhaust?

the ecu wont work as well with a stock exaust you wont get a lot of gain so you should get ehaust first if you go on e bay and wait a while you can find cat backs for as low as 350 -450 usd

The ECU will work with the stock system. The gains reported from the Powechip are with a stock set-up. The exhaust will give you great sound and gains from 10-20hp depending on your other mods and system. The ECU will give you what they show regardless of mods. Right now your choices for a ECU upgrade are REAL Engineering and Powerchip Group.

Get the exhaust first. The performance and sound gains are well worth it. You can do the ECU later when they get that worked out better. P.S. I have both.

Eh, it really comes down to what do YOU want. If you want a chip, you better decide about exhaust first, cause you'll want your chip setup that way (if at all possible). Me personally, I'm gonna try and go sleeper as much as possible. I'll get the chip, but I enjoy the (fairly) quiet ride of my tib. To each thier own. :D
