I was wondering when i get my car, im gonna do my exhaust work first, and then ill be strapped for cash. So if i do axle backs and an o/r mid pipe will i need a tune. Also will i need mil eliminators if i dont need a tune.

also, is going with the bassani bx mid pipe going to be worse than their stainless midpipe. Does the bx have any major disadvantages, like weight or durability, from stainless steel, becasue they must have a reason to sell stainless?

The BX series, I believe is a lower grade SS and can go "orange" over time.

the answer to your question, no, you do not need a tune for the exhaust. However if you change out your mid-pipe and go with an off-road pipe, they do come with MIL eliminators. If you plug them in with the kit, you will be fine, no check engine light will occur.

and yes, go with the SS series, the BX series is a much cheaper material and can deteriorate after time, you better off matching the pipe with your existing SS stock exhaust.
