I've got the stage 3 tune with stock exhaust and it runs awesome. I'm sure and exhaust would be a nice addition I just don't know which one to pick yet. As far as stage 3 without exhaust.........its awesome. No complaints. Car feels more like a 3 series...more snappy and feels lighter cuz the power to weight ratio is better. Runs smooth. No issues with stock exhaust although I'm sure an exhaust would fully unleash the tune. When they install the software the dinan program asks if the car has exhaust or not....its a yes/no question and in order to proceed with the install all you have to do is press yes. If the dealer is cool it shouldn't be a problem. The car runs great.

Any dynos done on the stage 3 yet? I'm still getting it regardless, but curious to see if any solid results have been posted (ones that had a baseline established beforehand).

Thanks!

I couldn't get a dyne done prior to the tuning, which sucks. I did get the stage 3 tuning done. However, I have new tires coming in this week. My back tires are shredded from the stage 2 tuning Needless to say, I can't really test stage 3 until I can get some decent grip. I will post my review at that time.

On the highway, it's an absolutely beast. Off the line, I'm constantly having traction control kick in, due to crappy tires. That will change as of this weekend.

Hunter5179,
Did you go from the Stage 2 to Stage 3, or did you just get the Stage 3 with your stock exhaust? I have gone from 1 to 2, and am wondering if Stage 3 would be worth it while keeping the stock exhaust or if it would even make a difference.

I went from stock to stage 3 so I really don't have a comparison for you but if your not planning to do an exhaust I'm not sure how beneficial it would be but for 200 bucks for the upgrade maybe its not so bad just to get it because if heard from other that had stage 2 that stage 3 is more refined.

Someone just give me Dyno numbers so I can see if it's worth the 4000$ on a Dinan tune

New intercoolers and stage 4 software coming out any day now. Good for 20hp/10tq...their claim, which is typically on the conservative side.

We received photos of the intercoolers already, so I know they exist. Stage 5 to follow with intake system. I hope to install the intercoolers, stage 4 software and run a dyno for you guys. Hopefully it all pans out soon.

I was hopinh for the intake system to be released soon...my motor needs more air to come in since the cat back is letting out more air...I believe it delays the spooling time of the turbos a little bit. Do the intercoolers look as big as the M5's? I'm going to stage 4 right when it comes out. Hopefully stage 5 isn't to far away...the intake should yield another 30+HP.
