Cobb or JB3?

TheBMWKing · 01-01-2012, 05:03 PM

I was wondering if I should buy either the Cobb AP or JB3 for two main reasons. Which one would show better performance results?
Would either one damage my car?
The reason I'm wondering is because I've been seeing many people selling their JB3 and Cobb AP for a pretty low price. Can anybody give me some info if they have used either one of these?

And can somebody tell me... will JB3 void my warranty? What about Cobb? ;-)

Jb4 is the newer updated version and has many great features and is a good tune, it's a plug and play piggy... While Cobb is another user friendly tune that flashes the ecu, only difference is Cobb is alot more money. So depends how much you got to spend?

I two was torn between jb4 and Cobb. Went with the Cobb as a personal preference since install/uninstall is a breeze for service. The results vary on the driver and mods. I doubt any will harm your car as long as you run the map/stage your suppose to. I am very happy with the way Cobb has performed so far.

Just get both and run the JB4 on top of Cobb.

PeteW84 · 01-01-2012, 08:00 PM

Cobb!!!

I have the Cobb, The JB4 is great and very cost affective but they're very different .

One is a piggyback the other is a flash. So one you install in the ECU compartment of the car, and the other you plug into the OBD port inside the car.
