MTM stage 3
How many of you have this kit and would you recommened it? More importantly would you purchase this kit again? What kind of real numbers are you guys making? Also how loud is the exhaust compared to stock? Thanks for the help.

Not exactly. From Stage 1, you can go to Stage 1+ which is a re-program of the ECU and the ...
Addition of the bigger injectors. Stage 2 requires no re-programming but you need to buy the exhaust. The MTM exhaust is from after the downpipe back. It includes the centre resonator and the two mufflers. The exhaust system is not loud at all, with a deeper tone/burble at idle. Under full acceleration you can hear it more than stock but it is not intrusive. You can cruise for hours and it would not bother you or anyone. Most people would not know you have an after market exhaust on your car.
Now Stages 3 comes with a K04, a 70mm downpipe with a HJS Motorsport series 100 cell cat. These cats are very expensive and are used on racing cars. Also with the kit comes a wiring harness to make the stock OEM lambda harness longer. Your ECU will have to be re-programmed too. That's it for the Stage 3. I would suggest while your there to remove the exhaust manifold and have it ported and polished.
BTW, the sound of the car with the downpipe and the K04 really comes alive. It is louder again at low RPM and and very nice under full acceleration, yet not annoying at regular cruising speeds.
If you need more info you can e mail me at mlab601@yahoo.com

i never had stage 1.
i had an exhaust, then i got the MTM software, injectors, and the 110 dv all at once. i got everything from Mike at Ikon Motorsport, either he or Hoppen should be able to tell you if you are charged for the new software.
