    Pop/Bang/Flame-Thower/Burble tunes

    I have not really even looked into it on stock computers to figure out how people are even getting it done. Having to remove all the cats and have a basically dumped exhaust just to get the flames and loud noises is kinda dumb.

    My opinion would only change if the use for such a thing was really needed. Like in a standalone controller like a holley system, megasquirt etc etc where it's a turbo car that can use the two step/launch control/rolling anti lag to spool up the turbo.

    I understand the purpose of it for launch control/antilag/2-step/etc. But the tunes these folks want is the bang pop when decelerating OR when theyre with their buddies (revving and popping when the RPMs come down after a rev). Involves turning off DFCO and retarding the timing in the low g/sec region. IT WORKS BUT... The gas mileage will suffer, your cats will die (if you have them) and the turbo(s) can be damaged. Then they will cry complain...
