Have they been able to avoid the display of warnings on the dash with the cats out of the system?
Based on what I heard, my guess is that the stock system will definitely be louder with downpipes. How much of the tone will remain is anyones guess, but based on the current IND setup I'd be inclined to think it will retain its tone. Hoping that is a case with my exhaust too.

Regarding the tune I spoke with Andrew and ESS directly. They are all said exactly the same thing...it is coming but have no solid timeframe or date. The IND car is headed to ESS now for more work...which is really good IMHO. Definitely going to have a CEL without a tune on the catless and unknown if the catted AMS pipe will throw a CEL as they have not been installed on a car.
