Quite a lot of modern cars can display a real time knock count from the ecu with the right logging software, so det cans arent always needed, but on the standalone stuff its always best to have knock monitoring gear, det cans are best as they dont need calibrating for normal engine noise ect before use, cant beat hearing it for yourself on every pull imo, advanced ecu's come with knock control built in, but the dta generally it isnt really doable.
