    Default TUNING!?

    I am swapping out my Stage II exhaust for my Exige S with that of a 2Bular Straight-Pipe (yes I know it will be insanely loud) and was wondering if anyone has referrals for outstanding tuners on the East Coast to help me with retuning my ECU.

    From what Ive read CharlieX is well known...anyone better?

    Thanks everyone.

    I think the gains will be minimal. If you were going with a smaller pulley or something I would say tune it for sure. But to have it tuned to gain minimal HP will still cost you almost a grand. Decat and headers will bring the most power. Sector111 and Vision Function offer stage 2 kits. Pulley and ECU upgrade.

    I may get a lot of negative responses to this but... you could do a honda k20 swap with endless tuning abilities...

    very true.... i would honestly love to and considered doing a swap/turbo setup... only problem is the cost associated with a build such as that.

    oh and just an update for those interested, i installed the 2bular Straight Pipe last night and it sounds amazing... very loud but surprisingly not too much louder than the Janspeed Stage 2 exhaust it replaced. now i will definitely need a tune tho.

    I never really got into lotuses. I mean literally, I have troubles entering and exiting them. Can't wait to test the evora though.
