Alright, i know what some will say, SEARCH! well i did, and i guess i'm a retard because i couldn't find the answer i was looking for! i have an 05 coupe, 5AT, jwt pop charger, z-tube, pulleys, magnaflow muffler, no resonator, titek test pipes, and a kinetix racing v+ plenum. when my car is on, it reeks of gasoline. people have told me that my car is running too rich and needs a tune. i wanna go to ums tuning, but i don't know what i'm getting myself into. what do i need to buy? what am i looking at spending? sorry if this has already been posted...i just need some help!

 

A tune won't get rid of the gas/exhaust smell completely, a lot of that is coming from your test pipes since you have taken the catalytic converters out of the picture. I'm also going to assume you're running lean with your breather mods, not rich and that can be dangerous for your car. A tune will definitely fix that and the most popular tune here is the Osiris offered by a company called UpRev. Not sure where in Arizona you are but you might find a shop that can do it for you here. https://g35driver.com/forums/tuner-d...directory.html

It's not cheap, probably cost you somewhere between $550 and $650 but it's well worth it in the long run. You don't need to buy anything, just show up with your car and your mod list and they'll do the rest.

 

That's....^....way more than useful advice, it's perfect!

thanks man, that helps out alot, ill look at the list and go from there. i was worried that i was gonna show up to one of the tune shops and look like a idiot for not having **** ready, lol

 

and should i be looking at getting high flow cats? cause i like the way my car sounds with the test pipes, will i lose that sound??

 

Keep the test pipes the HFC's wont pass smog anyway so there is no point in spending hella money on that when u can just roll with ur test pipes thats how id go, and i personally like the smell it keeps you more in touch with ur vehcile

 

HFCs will be a little quieter than regular test pipes. Do you have regular or resonated test pipes?

 

regular, no resonator

 

Actually HFCs should pass smog.
Is this from personal experience?
There have been many guys on here that have passed smog with HFCs.

 

ok, i tried calling Xact dyno today, the place listed on the tuner directory, and no one answered i found another place and they want 750 for the osiris, is that a fair price??

 

That's a little high, but if they are the only shop w/in a reasonable distance that can do it it's not highway robbery.

 

hmm, what kinda gains you think im looking at with the osiris tune?

 

alright, i got ahold of Xact Dyno today, $600 for the Osiris tune with 5 custom maps, said that ill be looking at about a 20hp gain. Im gonna call em in a couple days and set an appointment. thanx for all the help guys
