If anyone has ktuner with screen for your 4th gen TL SHAWD, Is it worth it? what are some tunes you have? and what can you do ? I just want a crackle tune

I don't have any experience with an actual ktuner but from what I've seen it seems like it'd be something to use for when you install mods on your car to get them running decently enough until you get a dyno tune and also to monitor different sensors while your car is running. I plan on getting one after doing a custom exhaust setup. Also I'm pretty sure that setting a crackle tune would be bad for your engine.

Oh, and I think the v1.2 ktuner is bluetooth so you could just use your phone as the screen and save ~$150 which is the route I'll probably go.

thank you for your reply, I am still on the fence as I dont have the craziest mods

I found this video on youtube, if you have 30 minutes to spare and are seriously considering buying one I would give it a look. Tells you everything you need to know. Also found this one thats worth watching too.

It's worth it for a Civic with a turbo, but it's not worth it for TL.

I had already done very extensive research on it and have watched those video's already. I think that is isnt to crazy for 4th gen TL. Im going to straight pipe mine to see if it will pop louder. I currently have a resi delete and high flow mufflers and it burbles pretty nicely. but I am going to straight pipe it so it should crackle now.

Your joking right? Wasn't your motor the one that burns 5qts of oil in as many weeks? Must be smoking like a forrest fire.

I was being sarcastic brother. I actually recently dropped the transmission to discover a rear main seal leak, and I also changed the pcv valve as well as other good maintenance. I bet my car will run longer and better then yours. I now dont burn or leak at all. in fact I dont think i have filled my oil since that post lol

I also changed the camshafts so i have no damage at all from when I was burning oil

but go off i guess be a asshole

Unfortunately, this engine is designed so that it must have air support in the form of a cat, without which it will consume a lot of oil even with zero miles on it.

Thats not what staright pipe is. Im just removing the mufflers and resi's. not the cats bro.

if cats are still in place then that is not a straight pipe in my opinion

I got it straight piped, sounds fucking awesome, it crackles like crazy. Very satisfied
