    Default Headers or a Tune?

    G'day

    For those that have "been there, done that". For low-down (2000-4000rpm) power/torque, if I was only going to do one, which is better a performance tune or headers?

    It's a Gen 3 V8 manual with cat-back performane exhaust, cold air induction kit and hi flow filter.

    Thanks in Advance

    Go the extractors. They will keep you entertained until you've saved enough folding to get a tune done, and then you can get your tune done right the first time.

    If you get the tune done first, then change anything on the exhaust, you will have to get the tune done again. Do the exhaust first, then get a tune.
