Headers and tune on Automatic Trans

[Lunatic]

Your not asking if you should get a manual, so lets drop that debate. You already have the automatic.
I also have a automatic. Bone stock was 164 at the wheels. Header, exhaust, and tune put me at 177. E-force supercharger and flex fuel kit put me to 323 on e-85. I love it. Well worth the money spent in my opinion.

Hey there Scootertribe, Driftoffice tune using ECUTEK.

Total was $1325 for me and that's including header plus custom tune form Bob.

$500 Header
$350 ECUTEK license
$100 Install
$375 Custom Dyno Tune

I was hesitating at first because of the gains but this is my 2nd week driving with the tune & header and i can say that my car feels like a different car. Sounds awesome too

Hey FoxHound, sorry to dig this old thread up, but you got those gains with all stock outpipe, front pipe, and stock catback too? basically just the header?

like mentioned earlier, header /tune will get 99% of the gains. change out other parts for sound, cause you like shiney parts, or have money to blow. the little bit of HP you will get from those extra parts you can gain with stickers!


for me i threw in the overpipe (crooked piece over axle) cause car was in the air and you have to unbolt half of it to begin with.

That is good to know, because the catback will cost even more than my headers+tune alone and I dont wanna that drop money on the q300 until i fix the most functional mods first

Hey there!

Sorry for getting back to you late, i didnt see the notification.
Everything is stock except for my HKS Hi Power Spec L exhaust, when i got it tuned they installed only header and did the tuning. Hope that helps, Cheers!

I have a supercharged automatic FRS running e-85. I love it. Call Bob at Drift Office in Auburn. He can help you.
