Most of us paid already 3500-4k for Header and exhaust for 60HP. I guess another 3k wouldn't hurt.

I wouldnt sell your headers. Novel headers are still $7500. They tuned for headers and exhaust. So my guess is 3grand. Novel has the ecu flasher so for them to tune an F might only be 500 or 1000. I dont know what they are charging. The sard ecu tuner is about 2300 and tuning maybe 700. This is just a guess.these questions i will ask on nov 10

A tune sounds nice to me but as someone said earlier I want to see the outcome in TX.

I'm still expecting the tune won't work on USDM ECMs. It never has in the past.

PPE headers are good enough. I dont think the number would vary that much with novel headers. I think the one that makes the unique sound is the novel exhaust.

maybe ask novel to make a non variable valved version of their exhaust will bring down the cost quite a bit

Seems to me that 3k for a tune is gouging people.

I agree that's ridiculous. I suppose since its small market and not easy. Still that's almost 3X of a GTR tune.

Lobuxacer is the king of negative energy when it comes to "tuning" our cars

I've noticed Lobuxacer is incredibly negative on almost all of his posts.. and it seems he only posts when he has something negative to say. Although I'm an advocate of stating facts and it may come as harsh to others.. I'm sure he could word his posts in a more positive light instead of arrogant. This is just imo.
