M8 comp carbahn
Howdy everyone, got the m8 comp gc about a month or so ago. Love it so far! Getting an akrapovic exhaust and catless secondaries put on when I get back from vaca.
In addition, I’m looking into getting the carbahn stage 3 because I like the warranty idea. You can either get just the tune or the whole package. Anyways, dealer quoted me for whole package about 17k. I asked if I could just get the tune, he said sure but it may cause damage to systems if they can’t cool properly (isn’t that what warranty is for?), and said it won’t get the same proposed performance gains… So I guess question is, is he trying to upsell me? Aka is it stupid to get the tune without the additional mods? Usually I would just get the whole package, but just coming back from vaca and not working for 2 weeks, then paying 16k for exhaust that week, another 17k seems a tad unreasonable at the moment haha. Just looking for opinions on if I’m going to screw my car up if I don’t get heat exchanger, cold air intake, etc… |

The warranty will only be valid if u do the whole package
If you do not and something happens they will try to get out of the warranty saying you did not follow their recommened upgrades with stage 2 or 3 and this what caused the failure so they will not cover My 2 cents on this |

If you want a little more power once in a while and you just like mods for the car, Racechip is perfect. Map 5 is solid. See my track time ramblings thread for comparison of RC and carbahn stage 2. Carbahn stage 1 was ‘pathetic’. Short term leasees may as well run map 7. I never tried it because it map 5 gave me 655 ft lbs torque, which was awesome. At the wheel on a dyno jet 4-wheel system. Pretty good I’d say. |

Also, it can be transferred to a future car at no cost (only once.) |

Racechip easy to install?
U feel it right away I’d imagine ? 121+ hp does seem pretty cool! Truthfully stock 617 feels fast as sh*t … but can’t pass up another 120+ hp for $800 bucks!! I might do it !!! Bought spacers 15mm front / 11mm rear I need to put on still too ( only had car for week so far) So probably spacers & tune will do it for me — did come w Dinan turbo inlet pipes ( actually had these on my 19 m5 but kept throwing up error / check engine light so I returned) — but in this m8 doesn’t seem to have that issue Appreciate all help

Racechip is proven and works well. The seat-of-the-pants diff is in the low rpm torque increase, exactly where you want the focus. |
