Default CAI, Dual Exhaust Question

Hey guys I am looking into getting a CAI/Tune and a dual exhaust for my 07 v6. Is there a certain order I should get them? Do I need to get the CAI/Tune first? Get them at the same time? Or can I get the dual exhaust first and wait about a month for the CAI? I am looking into the FRPP exhaust if that makes a difference. Sorry if this is a dumb question and thanks in advance!

Or you can get the CAI and tune now and exhaust later... The CAI/tune will increase your performance. The exhaust is for sound. What do you want?

there isnt a real "order" to get them. The only advantge I can see is that if you get your dual exhaust first, then when you get your tune you can include that to be in your tune.

No, it will be fine. Mufflers mean nothing for horsepower but only sound.



Thanks, Doug

Hello Doug,

Thanks for the reply, I was really starting to get nervous not hearing any thing from you. But it's all good now. As many times as I have purchased things online, I still get nervous. I did have another question about the tunes. I have the flowmaster installed at the moment, but I took a 10 hr road trip, pretty much all on the interstate, cruise set around 70 mph. The drone or resonation of that thing, for that long, especially under load going up hills... I think I'm going to put the stock muffler back on. Will this have an adverse effect with your tunes? I've heard that a GT take-off works well, but I really don't know when or if I will get my hands on one of those anytime soon. I wanted something that sounded better than stock, from the inside, the flowmaster ain't it.

Thanks,
Jeff

From the master himself....

I got my dual with x pipe 1st before ordered my tunes with CAI. Doug does ask what performance mod you have before he tunes.

I guess my point is, after every upgrade, I've emailed bamachips and no new tunes were required. And I'm sitting with JBA shorties and FRPP duals with x pipe on the backside. I think it's more crucial upwind than downwind. When I got my FRPP CAI, Ford Racing didn't even ask about exhaust.

I had my dual exhaust for several months before I got my CAI/Tune, and congrats on the FRPP exhaust it's awesome.

You are going to love the exhaust and cai/tune!

so you don't have to retune once you get duals? (when cai/tune is previously installed)

No.. exhaust is independent of your tune.
