That's the problem; no one knows yet. We'll all find out soon after the IX arrives and tuners get their hands on one...

It makes the muffler bearings quieter. and you dont need blinker fluid.

LOL^^^^ ahahaha..
but yea the mivec is like a vtec.. it add more gas to the car once the mivec kicks in, like for example on the lancer ralliart (2.4L Mivec), the mivec kicks in at about i'd say.. 3400 rpm's and will add more gas and basically gives the engine a kick in the ***, in a literal sense

It should be tuneable. WORKS probably working on it right now. Most of the tuners will go out of the country to get one and start early!
