      Yes, I don’t seem to have any problems with it very often. I leave it in all the time and during the winter I have the battery on a trickle charger anyway. Never had dead battery problems with it in.

    I think the carbon flash decal look better since it matches the carbon flash accents on the car.. but thats my personal opinion though. Btw do you have any TPMS errors while the driving during the night with the led on? Bought some from ebay for $150. Left front comes on after 15 min of driving and it’s annoying.

    Is cylinder deactivation bad?

    • @C3Mods
      @C3Mods  3 года назад +2

      It’s the factory’s way of complying with federal emission standards. I don’t like my car constantly underpowered and over time I believe it is hard on engine and transmission parts. I don’t think it’s bad, per say, but why drive a 500jp car with it? My mileage hasn’t changed at all without it on road trips anyway.

      It can ruin your engine when it gets the valves out of sync, if you start to hear a valve rattle on it going in and out , get a module that shuts it off. I’d did it and mpg didn’t change

      Yes they make them But they are VERY expensive. I've seen a few RUclipsrs use them. And I've though about it for how lite they are and the ablity to moun them any way you want. But but with a 600-1000$ price tag...... I haven't pulled the trigger yet. Search Antigravity Batteries, they have some for 14-20 vettes.
