Hey yall...as of right now, my truck is bone stock. I am about to purchase the MBRP SI/SO catback exhaust.
I am also going to buy a programmer...either an EDGE or a Gryphon.

My question is would only a cat back exhaust warrant buying a Gryphon, or should I just stick with an Edge.

Does this make sense to yall? lol

 

Hey, The edge and gryphon are basically the same thing. Either one you choose it would be a great move to chat with bill as he makes and provides the best custom tunes. IMO.

Right on...I appreciate ya

Looks like I am going to get a Gryphon.

Plus, it might have helped if I had taken more time sifting through the other posts. lol

 

A cat back exhaust does not require any kind of programming change. You need programming for exhaust only if you remove cats or add headers.

The Edge is fine with just an exhaust change but if you ever add a CAI, you will need custom tunes. I had the Edge for 30,000 miles and thought I was happy with it. I then updated to the Gryphon custom tunes and found out what I was missing. I have had the custom tunes for 22,000 miles. If I were buying another tuner, it would most definitely be the Gryphon with the custom tunes, even though all I have is an exhaust. The greatest benefit is in that improved downshifting the Bill provides in his tunes.

 

Seems like the custom tunes on the Gryphon whoops the crap out of the Evo.

 

Yeah...I also may be adding a CAI eventually too.

 

In that case, definitely go with a gryphon so you can get the custom tunes if you put a CAI on.

 

I've been looking at tuners lately, I was set for the VMP tune, but I like the pod the Gryphon offers, I always liked that Edge pod. And looking at the many other benefeits of the Gryphon I think i'll go that route.

 

Good choice, I really use the guages a lot. If you have no interest in the guages, then a Troyer tuned Xcal3 is a good way to go.

 

The only thing that had me worried was having the unit mounted onto my dash right next to the window. If someone were to smash my window, and steal my programmer, then I be in a bit of a pickle.

 

I really like the gauge. I always wanted one ever since I seen one last summer. The instant economy and average economy really have my interest, and the ability to run 1/4 mile times sounds awesome. $489 with 3 custom tunes though ouch. Could I get like an economy tune and tow tune and leave the 3rd a unchosen option? I dont know a whole lot about tunes but I know that I better look into one for when I get my wheels & tires this month, and to unleash some much needed horsepower and torque.

 

DarrenWS6,

3 tunes is just the beginning. Some people have performance, economy, & tow tunes written for several different octanes. Not uncommon for someone to have 6, 8, or even 10 tune files. It gives you a lot more options.

Oh awesome, but does that mean you got to keep buying $30 tunes?

 

Well, it's just like going to a bar. Do you really think they'll cut you off before you figure out when to say "when"?

 

Good point. Thank you.
