Fujitsobu, hands down. Next would be the Amuse Titan, but I can't remember how loud it is. The Fujitsobu is top-notch quality and extremely quiet, but also very expensive...

Hey, I'll be moving to C-Springs in a month, so I'll be able to help you out first-hand before long.

Improve it slightly. It doesn't affect closed loop operation, though, which is what your ECU uses when cruising at low throttle. The flash only affects open loop, which is only used at Wide-Open Throttle (WOT), or at least a certain percentage of throttle that is pretty high.

Dunno about basic but my custom Works P2 is the same as stock. Maybe casue I am always gunning it but I though I would see a difference. Still get low 200 miles per tank

the main reasoning behind the improvement is that stock, the Evo is quite rich (a lot of gas is added compared to the air) and tuning it you remove some of the gas from the equation (the air/fuel ratio becomes leaner).

Are you refering to the best suspension ever sold in a stock EVO? I just want it to be clear on that...

There are smoking deals on suspension now days but getting rifd of the stock Bilstein on the MR does not sounds smart, they perform very well and they are also comfortable.

My tanks have been 18.4 worst 21.2 best average, most are in the 19.8 range. I did see 22.4 highway last weekend though!! It was mostly an 80-85 mph trip w/ a few bursts into the high 90s, so pretty good mileage for the situation I think.

I see that everyone is recommending a reflash, but I'm curious, does Dynoflash even offer reflashes for the 06 IX? Because when I go to their site, they only say for the 03-05 Evo 8's, not the Evo 9's...

ECUtek is much better than the tektom at programming the ix ecu from what I hear.

Yes, he started offering it this week after some initial testing. He's providing it to the local DC IXs on the 9th at the same price as all his other flashes, which is great.
