HAHAHA.... you know me already... dude.. i was like WEEEEEE!!!! :-D

So yeah... its bling... but since i havent driven it hard yet, i didnt notice much.

Do you think i should get a VAFCII and tune her now? I guess to squeeze a lil something out and be on the safe side at the same time i guess.. OH doenst tuning help with gas mileage and stuff too?

The perfect setup would be to do intake and exhaust and keep oem header.

Dyno

Add the header then dyno again

yeah... thanks! i wouldve done that but i didnt want to most likely because i didnt care to.

I knew going into this that i wasnt gonna prolly gain anything, but looked more into the look and weight loss.... And there IS a pretty big difference.

I'm prolly just gonna get the VAFCII and try to tune some and see what happens and call it a day :-D

Hey guys... Would getting a tune with a VAFCII on a setup of a FIPK, Megan look alike header, Megan Test pipe, and HKS exhaust, Actually bring out the HP out of the mods?

So i know i have these mods on now. But will i def feel a difference once tuned?

You should always get a tune if you put on bolt-on mods. These change the air/fuel ratio. Also a with a tune you can get your a/f down to 13.5, which is optimal. I'm getting a VAFC and a Innovate wideband and am tuning the car as soon as I get everything on.

Oh I see. So does that help with gas mileage as well?

I figured that if you get bolt on's, tuning would be a good thing. I wasnt sure how signifacant it was.
