Got a muffler delete on mine, I kept the resonator. Cheap mod and I like the sound (also easy to put the muffler back if wanted). It's louder in eco-mode and confort, less in Sport and Sport+.
A little bit of drone on cold starts inside the cabine, but when it's warm nothing at all.
Not my video but this is pretty much how it sounds:

I saw that video and liked the sound. Looks like he's in california judging by the spanish tile roof, cloudless blue skies and the type of foliage - but I could be wrong. But if that's the case, he's definitely not catless.

Actually the last comment he says all he's done is a muffler delete.

Is there a big difference between bootmod3 and esstuning flashes?
I noticed that Bootmod3 cost $595 vs Esstuning $995. My local tuner uses Esstuning and I am wondering if its worth the additional price.

I don't know much about ESS tuning, so I couldn't really tell you unfortunately.

However, considering the fact that you mentioned a tuner using the platform, I'll assume you mean is there a difference between the two in terms of using them as a custom tuning platform. In that case, I don't think it gets better than BM3 (or in the case of OTS maps either, to be honest) but then again, I don't know much about ESS.
