Default Getting Tuned on Mon! Got some ??'s

Going to Torq on Monday to get my C6 dyno tuned. Also putting in an Airraid intake.

Do you guys think that i'll get a better sound with the intake addition? Right now I am running the Bi mode factory exhaust with the fuse pulled.

Never have had my car dyno tuned since i bought it, hopefully I will notice a nice diff.

Here is the a vid of the car that Vossen wheels just made.

I have not notice much sound difference from a cold air intake, and certainly nothing that will be heard over an open NPP exhaust.

airraid was first thing i did on my car. i noticed a diff you could hear the motor more. but with open npp you might not be able to hear sound from the front when the sound from the rear is so much louder.you should see a nice lil gain from the tune esecially in the trans tune. i assume they are also tuning the trans correct?

generally, w. a quieter exhaust you would hear a more open type air intake. but as said above, w. the NPP open, I doubt it. on other cars I've had street borlas equiv. to touring and you can hear the aftermarket intakes.
