ESS remap after exhaust install?
so I just recently got my Eisenmann quad race exhaust but feels a little sluggish thru mid to high rpm especially in 3rd gear. Im running on ESS stage 2 for my 35i and was wondering if I need to remap from ESS to get a better tuning. The sound is great but I wasnt ready to give up power just for that.

Impossible to be quieter. ESS stage 2 runs more boost therefore a greater volume of air is being pushed through = louder in my book. With the stock exhaust you probably won't hear much difference anyway.

It could be because at that speed its simply an "easier" job for the engine with the added torque. Isn't it so that with the added boost, more of the energy is being "recycled" which means it will be more quiet? I mean if you were running a turbo with zero boost, wouldn't it start to sound almost like a N/A engine? |

I see what you mean - it is more quiet during crusing. Mmmm possibly at light throttle. But at constant speed that surely would only occur if the RPMs were different (lower) at a given speed which will not be the case.
I am suprised you are scared to take it WOT on stage 2. I do this regularly with no issues for traction. It's good. I actually wish it was faster sometimes as the diff between my 35is stock tune and the Stg2 isnt huge! |

1000 bucks seems like alot of cash for 20 horsepower.

Well, maybe I was also joking a little. On a more serious note, the speed develops so fast, you hardly have time to enjoy the sound which is present at WOT.
