Default Worth tuning or not...2007 auto.

I have a 2007 auto that is bone stock except for muffler delete the previous owner did.

I just bought a Tanabe Medalion Touring exhaust and Tanabe Y-pipe. I'm wondering if having a tune done after the new exhaust install would be worth the $$$'s.

I really don't plan to modify this car any further as far as engine mods.

My goal from a tune would be 10hp/10tq with a better throttle response. So not unrealistic.

Worth the tune costs or not?

Is 10hp'ish and some better shifting worth $500+ to you?

I would definitely get a tune to get the most from your exhaust. But if you think you may add any other engine mods I would hold off on the tune.

I know you said you are done adding mods but I also said I was only gonna get test pipes .so I got a tune and a year later i added a exhaust and had to spend money on another tune. I would recommend picking up a pair of art pipes you can probably find a good used set on this site. Tune and then call it a day .
