Default Can. Tune. Header Install ? Price idea

Well guys. I am thinking it’s time to take the ole C6 to a shop and get a cam tune and headers installed. Have reached out to a couple shops in Texas and no answer on what kind of price I am looking at. So was curious if anyone would have a ball park to go off of. I have a 2010 A6 Would like it daily friendly and not have to change stall

21st Century did my tune after I installed my headers. Was $500 for the dyno tune. Talked to them about a cam install and it was around $2900 including a new tune.

I'd definitely recommend 21st Century. They installed their cam package, headers and tune on my car. No bucking, stalling, surging, etc. Stock stall A6. I completed a 1400 mile round trip road-trip last month and averaged about 30-32 MPG cruising @ 80MPH.

I’m always wondering how you guys are getting that mileage? I rarely drive my GS, but just drove from Dallas to Houston cruise set on 75 & only got 23 mpg. Headers, high flow cats, axle-back & tune on my M6??

I was surprised also. Pretty much the mileage what I got bone stock before mods. Didn't skip a beat, Garland, TX to Terlingua TX, and Big Bend National Park.

The base cars get a little better mileage than the GS’s, although yours does seem a little low. My stock manual GS can muster near 28 with the curse set at 80mph.
