Bought EC MyGenius+Tune - What next?

I have purchased the MyGenius+Tune from Eurocharged but have not installed it yet. Since I am planning a couple other (minor) mods that will affect the tune that they send me, I want to get those done first so I can have EC send me the tune specific to my setup (and only have to do it one time).

My question here is, without breaking the bank, what are some other things I can do (prior to getting the tune file) to get the most benefit out of the EC tune?

Right now, I am thinking:

- ROW Air Boxes
- AFE ProDry S Filters + Charcoal delete
- Secondary Cat Delete

Again, I am trying to keep it conservative at first. Eventually I'd like to go the LTH route but not right now.

Any other suggestions on things I can do at this point to maximize the benefits of the EC tune would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

So delete the primary & secondary cats as well as the resonator?

If I go that route, I am afraid that it is going to be too loud. I figured I would delete the secondary cats first (replace with straight pipes) and see how it sounds. If i still wanted it louder at that point, I could then remove the resonator as well.

Your plan is fine. Leave the primary cats.

You are good to go !
Filters, ROW airboxes, 2nd cat delete will be additional but won't really make a huge difference. You'll definitely have a louder exhaust note.

ECS Tuning just called me about 20 minutes ago to let me know that my ROW airboxes are on backorder from Germany and won't be here for 2-3 weeks. FML.
