Default MTM Upgrades??

I understand that the MTM 187 hp upgrade (stage 1)is only a chip, while the 210 hp upgrade (stage 2)is a chip and a replacement exhaust....is the chip the same one in both cases, or is it a different one?

Default Same chip, different programming.

The programming on the Stage 2 is more aggressive, but they won't let you upgrade from Stage 1 to Stage 2 unless you buy THEIR exhaust (which imho is waaaay over-priced, considering the alternatives on the market).

If you're planning on just a Stage 1, I recommend the chip...the power is addictive. You can't compare those numbers to GIAC or APR's published numbers. The numbers won't tell you the whole truth. You have to drive it.

Default Yeah...I was planning on going from Stage 1 to 2..........more.

I have a stage 1, and am trying to figure out what needs to be changed to go to stage 2....do I need a stage 2 chip and the exhaust, or just the exhaust ?....obviously it has cost implications.

Default i think that when you go from Stage1(just chip) to Stage2 you add

new chip, down pipe, cat-back exhaust.

Default You can do just the exhaust with the stage 1 chip.

Getting the stage 2 chip has a little more impact (so I've been told).

What you should NOT do is the stage 2 chip with a stock exhaust.
