Remember, there are no stupid questions, only stupid people.

To answer your question, PROBABLY most appropriate for C5 Gen, unless you're talking about FI/Nitrous mods which has its own forum.

Ncevette, i have similar mods and just did a dyno test on a Mustang MD dyno and mine showed 295 hp @rear wheels. Mine is an A4. I didn't know you could run quarter mine on a dyno. They let me do that and ran a 13.40, 105mph. I have Blackwing, B&B PRTs, and no tune. How much gain can you expect with a tune?

Yes if you want to get the max results get a tune. How is the car running? You shouldn't expect much gain from that setup.

With this setup you prob wont need a tune. Exhaust don't effect the performance only sound. Headers will effect performance but not just the mufflers. Your black wing will probably let more air in but you car shoudl automatically adjust the A/F. I don't think it will change it that much to where you would need a tune.
