After all the debates today, I went ahead and ordered the Magnaflow Cat Back exhaust (Magnapack version)

I actually got them cheaper from the dealer then they had the FRRP Stingers!

Here is the link to them ... check em out..
http://www.magnaflow.com/02product/shopexd.asp?zone=AMML&id=846

Since they were cheaper and were cat back instead of axle, I went with them...(yes again I got them cheaper from the dealer than the axle back FRRP stingers because I was quoted a couple of days before the price of stingers actually went up and some shipping went up on the stingers as well).
That way if I wanted to put a mid pipe or longtube headers later I would not have to go back and replace the whole damn thing.

So did I make a good move?

My question is this... I know if I add longtube headers I will need a tune.
But if I add a mid pipe will I also need a tune or no?

Also how much do you think this will cost me? (to add a mid pipe)
(if I don't have to have a tune with a mid pipe I may add one now while I'm at it)
Thanks!

In my opinion, any time you change anything on the vehicle it should be re-tuned. But that said are you going for sound with this combo or are you looking for power?

If you want the sound then maybe you should have looked into Pypes?
If it is power that you are looking for from the mid pipes and headers please know that you wont see huge gains from exhaust and will see next to none unless you tune it.
