VAP Tune with Pops and Bangs Option
Looking for forum feedback on anyone with a VAP tune with the Pops and Bangs option. How ;long have you had it and have you had any Cat issues or O2 sensor issues since the install. I understand it makes the car more like the early model years with the exhust feedback and CAT and o2 sensor issues were more prevalent in those years. Any way to prolong the life on those parts.

I am currently running the VAP tune on my 2017 V6. I have the following modifications: Both upper and lower pulleys and 200 cell Cats. Originally I had the Pops and Bangs but it was IMO over the top and much for my likely. VAP is a great company and they at no charge gave the Tune file minus the Pops and Bangs which was easy to install. Perhaps they would provide both files with and without the pops and bangs, can't hurt to ask.

I have both the standard VAP Stage 1 tune and the same with additional pops and bangs (no additional charge for the P&B tune). I ran the P&B one for a bit but it really is comically over the top. I believe there are a couple here that have run it for quite a while but I can't speak to the longevity of their cats.
And for what it's worth, I've never had a better customer service experience (both before AND after the sale) than I did/do with VAP. They are *very* responsive.

I've honestly never found it so difficult to spend money before 😂

Wish I'd had the same experience VAP have a distributor here in Australia who hold almost no stock and don't bother to answer enquiries, and reaching out to VAP direct through the forum/email/website has gotten me nowhere.

The Aus distributor (which I could name but won't) has a terrible web site where it is very difficult to find any VAP F-Type parts/products so it's impossible to tell which ones they sell and which ones they don't.
When you do find something it has a yuuuge upcharge over the VAP price even accounting for the crap Aus peso exchange rate.
I'm guessing they don't have any sort of inventory or stock of VAP products on hand so if and when you buy from them they then order it from VAP and so you are left waiting weeks if not months and you end up paying double postage - Canada to Sydney Aus, the distributor, then internal postage from the distributor to you.
I'm so glad I bought my VAP parts many years ago direct from them and avoided this distributor!

I agree with Thunder Dump…funny name lol…I’ve had the pops and bangs for a few years now, zero problems, and VAP’s customer service has always been top notch for me.

Thanks Blacks and Luc for your feedback. Hopefully bringing up the fact that your car sounds gnarly doesn't change your good fortune. Exactly what i was looking for was the feedback of someone whose been running this setup and i apprciate your feedback. .
