Wait, I don't mean to sound retarded but if I buy a tuner, I have to also pay someone to tune it? Can't I do it myself or is too complicated for someone with limited knowledge? Sorry for the dumb questions but like I said I am completely new to the mod game. I think the Diablo Predator is the best for my money from what I have seen and heard so far.
Thanks everyone for your responses.
Yes, it is that complicated and the full software package cost a fortune, I would go with the SCT because is more widely supported, the predator has a few features I like more than the SCT but I would take the SCT because of the support.

People like brenspeed will give you free tunes for future mods if you get those from them, so maybe in the long run is more worthy to get it from them.

I think you misunderstood. My exhaust is loud as hell but not the kind of loud I was expecting. It sounds more like something is wrong with the car instead of being low pitched and mean sounding.
I have not had the car tuned, m mechanic told me I wouldn't need to tune it. He said that if we reset the computer in the car it would tune itself? Is this true or do I need to by a tuner? I got a price on a hypertech tuner, if I need it to make the car run smooth and strong again I will get it but if not I would rather wait.
Thanks for the response.



hmmm. I sold my magnaflows cause they were quiet as stock. Anyways, our cars ecu is very sensitive. its not like the older models where you could just thow on an intake. I wouldnt dare to that to these cars without it tuned.You are running real lean right now.Try not to drive it until you flash tune it or take it to a tuner.
