Generally, any tune will run you $400-500 + $300 EcuTek License.

I honestly can't say. Might be better leaving that to the experts.

I don't think running a header without a tune causes damage...lots of people run the borla with a spacer on one of the o2 sensors. However, you won't see the gains that you could get with a tune

But the oft(open flash tablet) is pretty cheap, and you'll get the most gains for oft+header...

Bump from the dead, but my J2 front pipe certainly made a difference in throttle response, not sure about the top end if theres a difference but throttle response certainly improved.

Out of curiosity, is a resonated front pipe even worth getting when you already have a header ? I'm skeptical of how much of an improvement a front pipe will make when you already have a header.

Looking at your mod list, I doubt you'd notice a difference in performance. You've already done the big stuff.

Yea I was thinking as much. Better save my money for the bigger stuff

You should try a straight pipe with some unrestricted header! Also, change the drop in to a whole new intake since the stock have a lot of turbulence. In other words, the intake slows down the air.

Or TurboCharge the car and go with rich ethanol fuel.

I've done a straight pipe and catless everything with only an invidia mid pipe resonator.. just save yourself the trouble and don't try it haha

Pretty much every comparison on this board shows the stock intake to perform very close to every aftermarket intake available.

Where are you getting your data from?
