I had the loot so why not. Hoping it ships earlier than they said, then I'll be headed to see the boys in mass for a tune. In the meantime, clean maf sensor and what else for performance maintenance?

clean your throttle body, idle air control valve, plugs, all of that will give you a nice throttle response

followed your lead after talking with you last year RR, went with the sport. Should be a killer combo with the MJ tune. Talked to a buddy of mine that drags chevys and he warned me to be careful of cleaning the maf sensor? Said it leaves a residue? Ran a bottle of lucas magic through the tank. Now to find that idle air control valve..........

RIght on my man, I've talked a few folks on here into the sport exhaust and they've had zero regrets and love it! Keep the updates coming and be sure to stay plenty hydrated, drooling over what's in the boxes when they are delivered can make a fella thirsty!! ahahahah

IAC valve is next to the throttle body very easy to clean with some MAF cleaner..also what i did was when i removed the throttle body i looked inside the intake manifold and it was full of deposit..soo i tried cleaning it as much as i could reach it also make a nice difference..by keeping your engine clean and doing regular maintinence it makes a great difference..im also going to port my throttle body and that should give me some better throttle response

Def gonna be a long wait till Sunday to put it in. Was hoping to have new wheels on before the tune but it doesn't look like that going to happen. Can't wait to kill some imports

What is the difference in the sport and the touring?

From the sound clips that I found before I decided on the sport corsa, the touring sounded a tad bit louder than stock while the sport is quite a bit louder and meaner! I wasn't gonna spend that kind of money for barely any improvement in sound from stock sound!

well, its on, but corsa can def eat a bowl of ballsack in the fitment dept. This is not a direct fit by any means. Had to wrastle it so that it wouldn't touch the frame and I will def be headed to the exhaust shop tuesday to have them shorten the rear exhaust hanger by about an inch. Other than that..............

Sounds incredible, quiet at cruising speeds and NASTY when your getting on it.

Rounded out the volant intake perfectly, should be a bit beastly once the tune is done.
