Default dumb question about chips and later mods

so if i get a chip now and swap out the whole exhaust later. will i need to re-flash the chip after the exhaust mods? or will it just automatically have more power?

some chip makers claim such HP with the chip alone and more HP with the chip and exhaust. i wonder if the flash is the same program for each case.

you can get a tune and then exhaust later... the free'er flowing exhaust will help you feel the power more, but to get a + tune or i think it would be a stage 2 tune by some of the companies you would also need to upgrade your injectors

so what i would do is just get everything at one time, tune/injectors/intake/exhaust

or just get a good stage 1 tune and not do anything else till you go bigger turbo

Stage 2 does not requie injectors, Only a Downpipe/ testpipe/ high flow cat needed. I would not waste the the money on a full exhaust. I would also remommend going straight to stage 2. Stage 2 is a free upgrade if you have bought stage 2. (some dealers will charge you $50 or so as a service charge for the second reflash).
