Question about tunes

[vakaviti]

Hi all,

Wondering if any would know if a tune would change the exhaust note of the car? I currently have a VE SSV ute with the following mods:

long pacemaker extractors
hi flow cats
3inch hurricane catback system with rear mufflers removed and 2.5inch straight pipe with j bend to eliminate drone
air hammer CAI

Its booked in for a tune on Friday and I was wondering if the tune would change the exhaust note of the car at all????

Dont get me wrong it sounds great now but I was going to make it a full 3inch system all the way through and chuck on 3inch straight pipes with a j bend at the rear.

Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers

I'll let you know tomorow mate. Though honestly I think it would. As your car will be pushing out more HP.

I didn't notice any change in exhaust note with my tune.

With those mods already on the car, I highly doubt just a tune would affect the exhaust note. The tune will bring it all together nicely though.

I have a full 3" system on my ute with rear mufflers and it sounds great. who is doing the tune?

Im either taking it power torque or getting it done by a VCM suite. Unless you can recommend any other good tuners???

Ive heard conflicting arguements about wether or not the tune would change the note...some people say yes some people say no...but thanks for the input guys...keep it coming

I get my work done at powertorque as well. they use vcm suite. you should average about a 40-50 kw gain with your set up which is about the norm for an unopened engine. but torque gain is excellent usually up 60-90 nm, somewhere near the 600 mark. I highly recommend them, been around a long time and mark and Shaun know their stuff

I didn't notice any change in note when mine was tuned. I use Steve from oztrack and he's excellent. Mine is tuned via EFI live.

I never noticed any difference with my 2.5" hurricane catback and vcm otr when it got tuned at powertorque. But your right from just those two mods I made 330kw and 611 nm

The note wouldn't change from a tune - much - as the increase in exhaust flow with daily driving would be minimal. You might notice it at WOT but that would be about it.
