i installed the budget a couple days ago. It did not want to fit properly with the stock Hanger flanges so I took them out. But at first I forced it to go on, and It put a considerable amount of stress on the Flex. Now when I drive, i definately notice a gain, but when I floor, it sounds like a bubbling hiss, not just a hiss. Is this ok? I know the stock flex section is very fragile as it states in the Haynes manual...any help will be appreciated!
Well,I have no trouble with the budget on my brother's car,it fit perfect.But I keep the hanger flange on and only need to be bend it a little so it won't rub the y pipe and make noise.And the sound you were talking,have you call budget and see what they say?They seem to have a very good customer service.Hope you can solve this problem soon and keep us update.
howcome i cant get the upgrade? can i get an older ecu out of a 95 or so that can be upgraded?
Well,cause no one has crack the ECU on the 99 yet,even if they do they don't or won't raise the rpm to 7k^ to take full affect of the MEVI,I think you can swap out the 95-96 ECU,but you will get the CEL on all the time.I got the MEVI on my 96 myself,but didn't get a change to upgrade the ECU yet.I can tell you without the ECU,this Mod is just a waste of $$$,cause you lost low end but gain high end.So it's pretty much even out.Hope this will help.

Actually, they haven't cracked 97, 98, or 99, but the 97 and 98 guys have been able to use the 96 ones and get them to work without a CEL if I'm not mistaken. The 99's have a number of more options in the ECU that are needed. But yeah, basically no one has cracked the 97-99 ECU's...
