i recently picked up the TSP catted downpipe and a straight pipe axle back from MRT (Street Racing axle back) and i was wondering if i needed anything else to get some nice pops and bangs or gurgles. hoping to liven up the car a little without tuning yet. will be looking through for how to turn off the fake engine noise as well

Stock ECU calibration doesn't have any retard on ignition timing you won't get burbles without a tune.

Downpipe will add some sound though just won't be burble.

As far as the fake engine noise, you can eliminate it by using individual mode, it allows you to configure R mode settings on an individual category basis and then you can put the cabin noise down to Comfort mode and it'll remove the fed in fake engine noise

I do plan on tuning later down the road but for now I'm riding out my warranty lol. they're enthusiast compliant but they said don't touch the ecu or open the block so I'm avoiding it for now. maybe here in a year or so I'll go flex fuel and a nice tune
