CHIP TUNING AND EXHAUST MOD = PERFORMANCE REDUCTION?

HI GUYS, MY C32 IS GOING IN TO HAVE THE HEADERS DONE AND CATS REMOVED, THE GUYS DOING THE MOD ARE SPECIALISTS AND DO A LOT OF WORK ON AMG'S THEY COME HIGHLY RECCOMENDED. THEN I WANTED TO HAVE THE CHIP TUNED, BUT THE CHIP TUNING GUYS HAVE TOLD ME THAT THE EXHAUST MOD WILL REDUCE THE PERFORMANCE AND THEN THE CHIP TUNING WILL MAKE IT EVEN WORSE, THEY RECCOMEND ONLY DOING THE CHIP??? THIS DOESNT MAKE ANY SENSE TO ME, ANY ADVICE??

Find a real tuner, instead of someone that is flashing the chip based on a file that is made for that mod.

A real tuner can custom tune the car for the exhaust and headers.

I ran catless with long tube headers for quite some time, and had the highest hp and best 1/4 mile times of any C32.

who is doing it? what kind of headers are you getting? i wouldnt let an indy shop do your ECU tune unless they are very experienced. i'd stick with a company on this forum that done countless tunes. LET does 'em and at the best price out there. If you want to dish out more, there is also Renntech and Kleemann.
