Hi R3b00T, congratulations on your first performance upgrade.
What kind/brand of header ...... catted or catless .. ?? As I understand it, a tune would allow your engine to make more power from your exhaust modifications. Others will be along shortly, to offer some suggestions for a type of tune. humfrz |

yeah, there is the OFT or Ecutek for tunes.
Both have their pro's and cons, but there are many users for both. I have personally used both, and had fantastic results with both tuning systems. Since you have a header now, it is quite important to have a tune. Without it, you'll throw a CEL (check engine light) because the car will think the catalytic converter isn't working. A tune will give you more power, better economy and peace of mind knowing your engine is running the way it should. |
