Order of tune DP>TUNE or TUNE>DP
Do you get the down pipes first and then tune or do you get the tune and then down pipes? I have been told you can have the tune programmed for down pipes prior to having them installed. Can anyone verify the process for this? Eurocharged stated that programming the down pipes can be done without them being done just yet.

Doesn't matter. Whatever is more convenient. If you're getting catless DPs you will get a CEL on dash without a tune, but that's all. Obviously you can do tune first and DPs next, there's no harm either way.

In general you should not ask vague questions. Ask more specific questions. If you want people to take your questions seriously show them that you already did some initial research and that your questions are based on research.
Do not expect other people to do your research for you. You can ask any question you want, but do not be surprised if members respond sarcastically or in a hostile manner.
edit: wrong thread sorry

If it were me and I was not doing both at the same time, I would go for the tune first. I would rather have the bid increase in power from the tune before I get the added benefit of the downpipes. When I decide to do the downpipes I would recommend getting the Kooks downpipes. They fit perfectly and I consider them the best value on the market for quality and price. Whichever direction you decide t go in I am sure you will be happy.
If you were in Los Angeles I would make you a combo deal on doing them both at the same time, maybe you can find someone locally that can put a deal together for you.

As a side note, if you are getting tuned for downpipes, do NOT, under any circumstances, run a DP tune with stock cats in place... Temps will spike, and you will have a bad day.
Tune only should be for stock hardware only...

I did DP before tune, also solved the CEL, so no CEL for me and daily drive and track the car and has never popped up.

With our ability to use the handheld for the tuning, it really is up to you. We can send ya a basic tune file to run until you have the downpipes installed. Then you can simply just get a downpipe file whenever you are ready!
We have the handheld and tune on sale right now if anyone is interested.

Does anyone know of a page where comparisons are done between the different tuning companies? Seems to me there are 3 or 4 with huge differences in price. Why is that?
For me I'm looking at the ones for the 400 (V6) and here are the details I got from their webpages.
OE -- $1,195 -- 394HP ODB2 Flash
Renntech -- $2,240 -- 392HP ODB2 Flash
Eurocharged -- $999 -- 400HP (??) -- Their HP #s look off plus it lists the C219 instead of C218
Others?

BMS JB4, best bank for the buck with dyno posts.

I'm more of a Steak guy than a burger guy. That site only lists the C class (C400). I don't think the C400 and the CLS400 have the same ECU. Anyway, if it works then hey, we got four choices now. One thing I noticed was on the dyno posts for most of these was that the increase in HP really doesn't happen until after around 3k RPM's so for a daily driver you really wouldn't see much difference. True?
