Unhappy Haman Motive stg1

Just got my ap from HM and went with HM stg 1. Wanted to know if there anybody is using this set up with a stock exhaust, just took out the K&n filter and put the stock on back on. Would like to find out experiences you might have. I head read a few post with other stg 1s and kind making me a lil worried.

Everyone on here get the Cobb or Perrin Stage 1 map.

I would suggest you try one of these.

As long as you don't put the K&N back in you should be fine. Some people are having issues but I wouldn't say all. If you're really worried, go have a Protune done on your car.

I bought the ap from Harman with their own st1 and stg2. I installed HM stg 1, i never thought i would do a wheelie in a car but it seems i was pretty darn close to do one. Stock at idle had the shakes here and there wich i didnt notice with HM stg 1 but just had it since yesterday so will be paying more attention to that.
I was just wondring if anybody was running the HM Stg 1 with stock exhaust. I will be getting pro-tuned hopefully by friday so i can go autocrossing on sat. Now i need to learn how to use the ap's gadgets, you will be hearing from me more often

Dude, I'd do some research...Stage 1 aka "stock", a protune is a waste of duckets...At least, that's what I've read.

I wasn't aware Harman was offering their own maps..

I dont know where you get that "pro-tune" is a waste of money, i do not agree with that at all.

protune is definitely not a waste of money unless you went protuned stg1 then protuned stg2 a week after... then the stg1 is def a waste of $$$... since you gotta pay like $500 every time you get a protune!!!!

Everything I read stated that protuning stage 1 is not a good use of funds...
