Did you put in your tune or exhaust first?

This may be a repeat thread but when I get paid next week and either buying A tune or exhaust. Wish I could get both but I can be patient. I already have both picked out lol just not sure what to do first. So what did you do first?

I prefer to do exhaust first for the sound, then intake, THEN a tune once my bolt-ons are done, but many will tell you Tune because of bang for the buck, which is very true.

Technically we can get a tune on the stock motor, add bolt-ons down the road, and then get another tune right after adding the new parts correct? Would the tune cost the same as the first one or are they usually discounted after the initial tune?

A few of the remote tuners allow you to do this with your own license and cable, yes, but if you get tuned locally with a dyno, most likely not. Visconti and FA20club do free updates as you add to it, but additional maps like e85, etc will cost more.

Lol talk about devils advocate. I'm leaning towards tune because I want to avoid drawing attention to myself for a little longer if that makes any sense

I tried to flash Visconti tune, but I'm unable since latest ecu version EcuTek has worked with is JA00, and my car is JA01. It was built 01/13. I picked up the Berk front pipe in the meantime. :beer:
