Driving like a cock everywhere you go only attracts attention, wastes fuel, gets boring and is just pretty stupid all the same. Enjoy it buddy, she's looking sweet.

Hi, do I need stage 2 for the pops & bangs or is it also available for stage 1 / no stage? I don‘t want to buy a new intercooler etc. for this, just the pops and bangs

@TheFlexxGarage Год назад

as mentioned in the video, all has to be done before the IE stage 2 tunes can be done on the car. You can get someone/shop to tune your stock car to have pops and bangs (if you add a downpipe) but then you run a much bigger risk of shortening the life of your engine because a "custom" tune/setup is not as reliable as an entire kit put together by IE that's been rigorously tested and has little to no issues on reliability.

@CarlosGarcia-nh6ts Год назад

All the performances you’ve done on the Audi so far you think I could do them on my 2017 Audi a4. So far I’ve only installed a cold air intake but I’m thinking about doing a stage 1 or 2 tune next

@TheFlexxGarage Год назад

Yes

@UnkownA5 3 месяца назад

Hey whats up Flexx!, quick question for the tune do the parts intercooler,intake, and highflowcat have to be from IE in order for the tune to work?, or can it be the same parts just different brand?.

@TheFlexxGarage 3 месяца назад

So the IE stage 2 tune really only requires the IE downpipe. So I would pair the IE tune with the IE downpipe. That’s a must. The IE intake and IE intercooler is not required to run the stage 2 tune so you can technically run the stock intake and intercooler. However, I recommend getting an aftermarket intake and aftermarket intercooler cause it will help get more outta the stage 2 tune, and those aftermarket parts will last longer and won’t prematurely fail. I’m not a fan of mixing and matching parts but since those 2 items aren’t truly required to run the stage 2 tune, you could go any route you want as long as they don’t decrease performance (like a cheap intake that has a filter that restricts airflow or sucks in hot air….or an intercooler made of a lot of plastic parts which soaks up heat).

I have a 2015 a3 quattro, would just a high flow cat suffice or would you recommend a downpipe as well? Trying to avoid downpipe because it would be an additional $1200

@TheFlexxGarage Год назад

If you are trying to just have a shop cut out your old cat and weld in a high flow cat as a replacement, you might as well get a high flow catted downpipe since the install is easier and will last longer cause there’s no welding and the downpipe material is stronger and has a larger diameter for more performance gains. If you wanna stay legal you would get a catted downpipe but you need to do your own research for where you you. Catless downpipe are for off-road purposes only. Not street.

Did you have to add oil after the crackle tune? I did the tune and I noticed that my car did start burn lots of oil, usually a quart every 1k or so, I did add 1 quart in like 300 miles. I also saw black liquid coming for the exhaust so let me know if you know anything about a situation like this.

@TheFlexxGarage Год назад

You have a problem with your car. Not the tune. Tune has nothing to do with your wear and tear problems on your car. Your head gasket is probably shot. Get it checked at a shop cause you’re leaking oil into your cylinders and it’s burning up.

@Julian-vv1kk Год назад

I have a straight piped Audi a6 and I went stage 2 with crackles drove around for a bit and it’s like an Ak 47 I love it but I went back to regular stage 2 bc I heard that if you are too aggressive it can cause damage over time and I wanted to check in with you to see if that is true

@TheFlexxGarage Год назад

Depends. If you are running an IE stage 2 crackle tune with proper recommended parts (intake, intercooler, high-flow cat) then you'll be fine. But if you are doing your own thing with downpipes or straight pipes and the stage 2 tune you are running (not sure if you are referring to IE or some other brand) is too aggressive, yeah...you might have issues. I did everything IE on my car to be safe then frankensteining my car with random parts and brands. My car is a daily driver and I'm not risking doing damage or being broken down on the road.

I think you should be fine then. And if you are straight piped (no cats, no resonators, no mufflers)...then you have nothing to damage after the engine since the extra fuel is just popping inside the headers/exhaust tubing.

@cabanjosue Год назад

According to the ie website it appears the intercooler is optional although highly recommended. The question is will the ie catted downpipe along with the cold air intake be enough to handle stage 2 without issue? Or is the intercooler absolutely necessary? (Sorry nothing to do with the crackle)

@TheFlexxGarage Год назад

Here’s my take on it. Stage 1 tune i feel like you can get away with oem components. However, stage 2 tunes are more aggressive and oem parts can do the job to support a stage 2 tune but you run the risk of parts failing. Stage 2 tunes will make the engine work harder and I feel like more air (aftermarket intake) and more cooling (aftermarket intercooler) is needed to keep the car reliable while it works harder on getting the max output of the stage 2 tune.

@cabanjosue Год назад

@@TheFlexxGarage good stuff, makes sense.

@TheFlexxGarage Год назад

I’ve seen a lot of people aggressively tune their cars, leaving everything oem except installing a catless downpipe…and in a matter of months…time for an engine rebuild or blown turbo.

There’s no kit for a Benz. Everything needs to be done custom. I don’t recommend it but most people get a high flow cat or cat delete downpipe installed…and then get the car tuned by a tuning shop for the pops/bangs. Not sure how reliable it will be since it’s all custom tuning and it’s not a proven, reliable kit sold to the masses like the one for my Audi in the video.

It’s pretty good as a daily. I always drove in “S” sports mode. The only thing is it tends to drone at lower rpms. When my wife drives the car, it would drone a lot since she doesn’t drive the car hard. And she hated it. But it’s nothing a resonator welded in would fix. I would recommend, after the new downpipe install, tohold onto your stock downpipe just incase you need to rob the resonator from it.
