Update.
Went from RC Ultimate to BM3 stage 1, 93 octane. Not even close in comparison. Ordered through x-ph...went great. Power delivery is not the same. Worth every penny. I have all intentions of going to stage 2 with some catless downpipes and putting it on a stage II map. Probably just buy the whole catalog of maps to play with. E85 is plentiful around here. Having tuned my lil track car from scratch, its nice to just have a plug and play option with the OTS maps.

Catless pipes came in this week. Hope to install this weekend if time allows! Also going to be switching maps to stage II.
What is the difference between BM stage I and BM stage II? Cant find a concrete answer for the N63tu. I'll get some pics up before/after...and some datalogs.

Got a feeling that stage ii runs up to 21psi...leaving 0.7psi on the OEM map sensor. May need to upgrade to 3 bar, just have to see I guess. Shooting for low 11s though |

Pics of the ARM down pipes. Honestly, for the price, I didn't know what to expect. But, for $320 shipped, I am really pleasantly surprised! I'm fairly comfortable in fabrication and welding...I made my own downpipe, exhaust, intercooler piping (AL), and dumptube on my RSX. The welds on these look great. No sugaring through (i.e. back purged), nice straw coloring to show HAZ is good (heat affected zone) is in a good range. Install next weekend.

So, just checked. And it was actually $312 shipped! Directly from ARMs website with the coupon code.

ARM wasn't my first stop for downpipes for my car. I had planned on VRSF or even AR, ER, etc. I tried to contact VRSF for some questions about their pipes, but no answer. Twice actually. I needed to know if the slip fit style comes with a flex joint, how many field failures have they had...no response, radio silence. Reaching out to other vendors (that may or may not frequent this forum ), I asked about some of the models mentioned above. Of course they are going to push the most expensive option as being the best, but where is the data to back that up? No love for ARM pipes. So I call up ARM just to see what they are all about. This guy answers the phone on the 2nd ring (forgot his name), but I asked about anything and everything I could about the pipes. What are they made out of (304SS), how many warranty claims have you had, whats the differences, gaskets needed, etc. ARM was very open and down to earth, easy to talk to. And I could actually talk to him! Fitment, I have no idea. But I'll report back.

I think the different pricing comes down to the diameter they provide.

Help please! | Looking to buy a tune
This thread was supposed to be about tunes, which it is, however i only see anything from 19 pages of posts about the BM3 tune/software license.
Can anyone point me in the right direction to find the best tune out in the market right now? Currently i am looking at DME Tuning but i am a noobie at the moment with my research. https://dmetuning.com/ Any advice is welcome! thank youu! |

Now, what makes the BM3 platform really great is that your not just stuck with their tunes. Most of us are very happy with the OTS tunes but if you want more, the software allows you to request a tune from any tuner who participates (and there are a lot of them). For a fee, they can create a custom tune and extract even more power. So, as you can see, I believe BM3 really is THE tuning platform to get right now. It's extremely well supported, safely used by a large group of enthusiasts, and is a relative bargain.

Enjoy the car with the BM3 OTS first as it may or may not affect your overall experience. Quote:
