This.

To get the full benefits of any performance mod, you would want a tune.

You'll see minimal gains from a downpipe..anthing else will pretty much just skew readings too much to see benefits and may actually hinder performance depending on the mod. Just buy your mods and get a tune.

The production tune has built in learn mode and will learn out almost any mod you make.

+1.
When I first put on my downpipe, took it for a drive, didn't really notice a difference besides sound. Got tuned later that day, and was like oh, hello power

Tunes make a Night and day difference.

Do a downpipe and tune first. That will last you a while before the mod-bug hits again. You can add and retune after that. Re-tuning doesn't cost very much from Trifecta. It's only like $50.
