Did any of you guys get your cars tuned? If you don't mind telling me what did you pay? Just want to he a basic idea of what I might be spending.

Seems like the going rate of just tune (i.e. no cable) is $600-700. If you want the cable it'll be more.

But you are in NY so those prices might be low.

I had a drive tune done. No dyno time but the tuner had my car for a weekend and logged 100+ miles on it. At the time I paid very little for my tune. After my experience, I would gladly shell out $700 for a proper tune. My only bolt-ons are intakes (short ram, Chuck albeit with heat shields at least). I definitely plan to retune when I add more mods, and I will be gladly paying my tuner for his time to drive (and hopefully dyno this time) the car.

Count on at least $500 for a tune where the tuner actually gets in the car. That's probably on the very low end, but please note that getting advice on cost from guys on the internet far away from your location might not be the best numbers for your budget. As Chuck mentioned, post in your regional thread to see if there are some guys with recommendations near you. They might have some more accurate cost estimates for you, but the only way you'll really know is to call up those shops and ask them.

I was quoted $800 by a shop near me for the full tune... I never got it done though..

I just called a reputable shop close to me and they said around $500 to tune the car.

My tuning cost isn't comparable to what you're doing since you're NA and I'm not. I had the Uprev cable for my base map, so I only had to pay for the tune. The tuner took most of the weekend annd built a map from scratch.

They pull hot air in from the engine compartment. They're worse than stock. On a dyno you're ok, because the hood's open and the fan is blowing on it. It'll show some gains. In the real world with the hood down, it's a hot air intake. The stock intake is less likely to heat soak since it's not metal, and the airboxes pull cooler air from in front of the radiator support instead of hot underhood air. That's why drop in filters and MAF tubes work so well. You're still getting cool air.

Chuck33079, which CAI you will recommend???? I have FI CBE + Res Tespipes, with K&N Typhoon... I am expecting to make the uprev in the next couple of weeks. You think that if I make the reflash with the Typhoon, i will need to reflash again when change to CAI?

I can't speak to the K&N setup but the OP was talking Stillen Gen 2.

STILLEN Generation 2 Long Tube Dual Intake Kit With Dry Filter 402851DF | STILLEN

These have cold air boxes and are specifically called cold air intakes. Shouldn't be worse than stock.

That said, I don't have the gen 2 but was thinking of going that route since I am not really interested in yanking my bumper every time I want to work with the filters.

When getting it done at a shop you typically buy the license which is $300 then they charge you for dyno time. Down here it's about $175hr, so about 2hrs dyno time is about $350. So $650-700 total gets you done.
