I got it in the mail today and installed it, I have the cheap amazon slip on btw, I think I seen someone ask that, but anyway after I installed it I rode for about an hour and the jerkiness in first gear is gone and it doesn’t pop at all on deceleration anymore, also engine braking isn’t as pronounced seems softer. Overall I’m satisfied with it. It was worth it in my opinion.
Right, sorry I quoted myself from an older post of last year talking about it.
It made a difference for sure, or at least it seemed to back then.
I have noticed some popping now more recently, but its only under very, very specific circumstances and does it only then, any variations and it does not, but nothing like initially after putting the slip on on. Additionally some other weird ride-ability, but again nothing like it was.
I wonder if this Booster Plug is acting up? I thought about just getting a Power Commander 5 instead so I can tune a good map with some ignition adjustments as well.....I sure hope its not, but almost wonder if its having issues, the booster plug.
It could be my imagination cause I tend to notice even the most subtle changes, I am over sensitive to noises and behaviors of vehicles....maybe because I was a mechanic for 6.5 years, and was always the one getting stuck with the "it makes a strange noise when driving between 45-55mph, only when the sun is directly hitting it and its over 52*F"..........and of course nobody else can recreate it, except the customer when they are not at the dealership........so I always got stuck with them cause I could actually get it to do what the customer said.
I once had a VW Beetle ( the new body style, front engine) completely taped up to look like a test vehicle because it made a funny whistle or noise between 48 mph and 60 mph...you know what it was......aftermarket wiper blades that were designed to look like the OEM ones.....I accidentally hit the wiper stalk while the noise was present and it changed pitch and attitude......was like son of a mother........2 weeks of driving and taping the dumb thing up :crying:
