Can you describe your results?
I'm also interested if the res-delete created any drone for you. I'd like the gurgle that comes with less restriction but is it too noisy? I assume you have an aftermarket exhaust also?
Cheers.
Hi Chris,

Yes, but to be honest I also did a Stage 3 upgrade over the Stage 2, so can't say it was because of the FMIC. Car pulls like crazy though! I love my res-delete. It's only louder on cold starts (I'm afraid I've probably woken up a few of my neighbors because I usually leave the house around 6a!), but definitely no drone (maybe a LITTLE around 2krpm, but not that much). Highway speed is good though. My exhaust is OEM MPE. The burbles/farts are a little more noticeable now though with the res-delete. I like the sound, but may not be for everyone
