Customizable Sound: Choose from subtle crackles to loud, aggressive bangs depending on your preference.
Exclusively for Modified Exhausts: Works best with performance or de-catted exhaust systems.
No Performance Impact: Focuses on sound without major changes to power output.
Flame Map
Flame-Throwing Exhaust: Produces visible flames from the exhaust, usually under hard acceleration or revving at high RPM.
Advanced Fuel Mapping: Allows unburned fuel to ignite in the exhaust system, creating the flame effect.
Best with Aftermarket Exhaust: Typically requires a de-catted or straight-piped exhaust for maximum visual impact.
For Off-Road or Show Use: Flame maps may not be street legal in many areas.
DTC (Diagnostic Trouble Code) Delete
Eliminate Specific Error Codes: Removes non-critical fault codes triggered by aftermarket modifications (e.g., de-catted exhaust, EGR or DPF delete).
Prevent Limp Mode: Stop unwanted error codes from causing limp mode or check engine lights.
Customizable: Only the desired codes are deleted, leaving critical diagnostics untouched.
Ideal for Modified Vehicles: Especially useful for performance builds where certain sensors or systems are no longer needed.
Launch Control & Anti-Lag Tuning
Launch Control: Adjusts the ECU to hold the engine at optimal RPM for maximum traction during launches.
Anti-Lag: Keeps turbo pressure high when off the throttle, reducing lag and maintaining performance between gear shifts.
For Track and Performance Use: Primarily designed for high-performance or race vehicles to improve launch times and reduce turbo lag.
For Diesel Engines: Disables the EGR system in the ECU to prevent carbon buildup and improve performance.
Improved Power & Efficiency: Increases airflow for better power output and throttle response, often improving fuel efficiency.
Off-Road or Track Use: EGR deletes are often used in racing or off-road vehicles where emissions compliance is not required.
DPF Delete (Diesel Particulate Filter)
For Diesel Vehicles: Removes the DPF function from the ECU, often after the DPF has been physically removed.
Reduced Maintenance Costs: Avoids DPF clogging issues and expensive repairs.
Performance Gains: Reduces exhaust restriction, allowing for better engine performance.
Non-Street Legal: Usually for off-road or track-only vehicles as it affects emissions.
VMax/Speed Limiter Removal
Remove Factory Speed Limiter: Increases the maximum speed by removing or raising the factory-set speed limit.
For High-Performance Vehicles: Useful for track days or high-speed testing where top speed is important.
No Impact on Daily Driving: Only affects the speed limit, leaving other aspects of the vehicle’s behavior unchanged.
Torque Limiter Removal
Maximize Engine Torque: Removes or raises torque limitations set by the factory ECU, unlocking the full potential of your engine.
Increased Acceleration: Significantly improves low-end torque and acceleration performance.
Ideal for Performance Builds: Often paired with other modifications to fully unleash the power of the engine.
