Zzp turbo back with trifecta question

[zachreed89]

Ok.. I want the Zzp turbo back exhaust.. I get it needs a tune but I have a 4 year bumper to bumper warranty.. Is the trifecta tune good enough to where it won't ruin the car? Cause an issue? What if the dealer finds out I have a tuned ECM.. Will they cancel my warranty even tho it didn't cause the problem

 

[Eric Smit]

yes, no issue, they could.

 

[zachreed89]

yes, no issue, they could.

So pretty much get in good with a guy who works at chevy haha

not necessarily, although that couldn't hurt. just prepare to pay to play.

Yea that's what I figured lol just my first car that I'm considering tuning.. And I hear awesome things about the turbo back and how it's worth it.. That's why i was asking if anyone has had any problems with the tune.. But I feel that they know what they are doing and people wouldn't be pushing a product that has their car ****ting out on them..

they deliver a very safe tune. that's not to say there won't be fluke issues, but as a generalized answer, yes it's safe.

I read for the 1.4l you would want the resonator no muffler.. Any experience with that?

The turbo itself acts as a noise reducer so there is less need for muffling. The resonator cancels undesirable noises, which are undesirable not because of being loud but are harmonically wearing. The effect is most noticeable on a long drive where a four hour trip feels like eight.

I like the resonator no muffler set up better!! The no muffler no resonator is way to much for my taste

I prefered the resonator and muffler when I was running a turbo back. It was still loud but wasn't offensive to my ears or others.

I like the turbo back with muffler. Resonator would just be too loud for my taste. Very little drone at highway speed. The zzp muffler makes a great sound when under load, and the flow isn't much different.

As safe as trifecta tune is. I'd still like to add that this doesn't nullify beating the piss out of a car.

If you beat the crap out of it your causing more wear and tear. Not to be blamed on the tune.

What tune are you running with a zzp turbo back 1.4L Buget ? stage 1 ? I had thought to just put a down pipe and a tune for a little more street pep/Cred but I think i would probably go with a ZZP turbo back kit I like the CAI although here in So Cal I would need to take it off when Smog time comes , I have a K and N filter only now what tune would you all recomend with that basic setup ?
