Anyone use those Range AFM OBD dongles on their 6th gen Camaro?
 
Thinking about getting one of the Range AFM OBD dongles to hopefully eliminate AFM on my 2016 A8 SS. I'm wondering if it'll make a difference in what technically should be lowered gas mileage but I wouldn't think it'd be that bad.

Opinions from anyone that's currently using one???

I've had mine since Sept 2019 but here's what I've learned.



Not a DD and only moves once every couple of weeks but no battery drain issues up to 3 weeks without starting.


Seeing 20.9 avg but I'm not really much of a lead foot in reality.


Got it to try an eliminate the TC shudder and also to eliminate the the AFM PFFFT noise when you pull the foam out of the sound tube. Worked for the PFFFT but not the shudder.The triple flush was the only real fix for shudder and that flush changed my mind from "I'm getting rid of this thing" to "I've fallen in love with it again".



There is definitely NO hesitation from cruising at 65mph to stomping on it but I don't know if I ever really noticed any hesitation before. 455 hp / 455 tq is more than I have the skill for anyway.



Final verdict: It's just OK @ 195 bucks but after I deleted the sound tube and did a secondary cat delete (possibly the best $125 I've spent) I might not be able to notice if it's there or not.

Absolutely love mine...I did lose about 1 mpg in city driving. Worth it.

Works great for me - no issues at all. I bought the car for the wonderful 455 HP V-8 not for fuel mileage so I have not checked the difference. Mine is not a DD so YMMV :smiling1:

I love mine too.
Slightly lower gas mileage on the highway, not much of a difference around town.
