Default Next mod?

Hey all. Only mod currently on my 2016 zo6 m7 is an afe intake. I am looking for input on the next mod that doesn't require a tune. Below are some I am considering:

Soler or Mamo ptb
NX lid (claims up to 25hp increase?)
awe, corsa, or Borla x pipe

I saw a recent video review about the soler ptb losing hp in comparison to stock. Anyone else encounter that? Which of these would you add next?

If choosing from your list, I would go with the exhaust next, but realize that you may not have to tune for it, but it would be a good idea. You already have a better intake so any more power is going to be at least a little more lean on your car.

X-pipe alone wont require a tune. Minimal HP gains, but the increased sound at WOT is intoxicating and worth it!!

Soler MTB - best money I have spent on my car. I personally will guarantee you will not loose any HP with a Soler MTB. What you will gain is a better driving car, especially off idle. It is more linear, more precise and just more fun to drive!

Please, don't take the face value of that. Look at the whole data set in our response video here, and the hundreds of reviews we have here, besides that was for a ZR1.

I just put on the Soler TB and the difference in drivability is noticeable and great. No more gap in throttle response and a nice smooth crisp off idle and part throttle response. Shipping was super fast and install is beyond quick and easy.
I also went with the AWE X pipe after many hours of you tube and thread searches on the borla, corsa and chinese variants available. RDPstore quickly got my order dropshipped and it arrived before the xmas break. It also was an easy install and the tonal change was well worth it. It also seems to be the cheapest minus the alibaba copies available.

Hp mods or driving mods? Hp Mods? I would add the Halltech tric it works great with the AFE.
Likely have the off idle bog many pre 18 M7's do so do the Mamo. Limited some what with out the tune. The DSC shock controller is good one for traction and
handling.

Soler throttle body and Soler throttle controller. Huge difference in drive ability and the car actually feels like a sports car with both. I would not be worried about any power loss.
