It won't matter what spec it is when U get defected. Them pro spec exhausts gave me ear damage.

Yeah heard they're loud, just searching for a new exhaust since my mid pipe is looking pretty scraped up to the point theres flat spots. The pro spec and spec IV doesn't seem as loud as the Spec II and III, which is par in sound with the J's70RR. Another one i'm looking at is a Spoon N1 with a custom mid pipe

I can live with loudness, but does it start to get raspy at a certain rpm? Just watching youtube sound clips doesn't do justice lol

All the other functions like oil temp, EGT and other goodies won't work. Haven't really used the scan code function since i've got no codes to scan anyway tho.

Cool, thanks for letting me know. See, I might be old school, but a single unit that reads water temp, battery voltage, speed and RPM is something that saves me buying 2-3 seperate gauges and associated attachments and then drilling all manner of holes in my dash to fit them . . . I reckon thats pretty good!

Awesome, thanks man.

So, what are they like speed wise . . . i.e.: does it lag very much being wifi, or are they pretty close to instant as far as moving like a traditional gauge moves?

I found there was about one second of delay. Reading this from the rpm gauge that it had. It also operates off Bluetooth and not WiFi.

Currently an Apexi N1, its just the mid pipe thats in bad condition, might opt to just get a custom mid pipe made.

Btw, how many liters of brake/clutch fluid would i need for a full flush and bleed? and where is the clutch bleed valve :|? Also do braided brake lines make you stop faster or does it just improve brake pedal feel?

Thanks man. I'm really looking for opinions on the wifi version, iPhone will only talk to a wifi version as I understand it. I could be wrong?

I got braided lines. It gives the brake pedal a very solid feel compared to oem ones.

I would think wifi would tend to drop in and out , causing it to lag depending on your reception. The bluetooth should work with any android or apple phone.

Do you feel the stopping distance has improved? I've also got a tegiwa brake stopper whole firmed up the pedal a while lot compared to stock.
