Default Need Help - Need a Tuner

I just installed my first wave of modifications and love them; however my new corsa exhaust system chokes and burbles when I let off the gas or in down shift mode . It sounds awesome going up, but not so good coming back down. I bought the mods from zip. I asked if I was supposed to get it tuned after the changes. They told me that the computer would adjust to the modifications. I do not believe this is true in my case. Posted below are the changes that I have made for now!

[i]Cold Air Intake and Hood Sea
Kooks 1 7/8" LT Headers w/ 2 1/2" CRSSOVR W/CONVRTR
Corsa Pace Car Exhaust w/ TigerShark Tips (I have a concern about the installation of the exhaust below!)
[i]New Iridium Plugs
New Plug wires

Concerning the exhaust – As I am understanding from Zip, the system design is revamped and we cannot get the space in the center to match the left and right side pipes that of course or mated together in one piece. I will post a pick later today when I run by the office and grab my Dig. Camara to assist with the visual problem!!!!

Anyway, who is the guru tuner in the Richmond Virginia and surrounding areas? I have no problem traveling a bit if I need to find the right guy!!!

Thanks for all your help in advance – You guys have been allot of help to me!!!

I have the same issue with my Tiger Shark system. If you get the fix PM me. It is almost impossible to align the tips so they are all evenly spaced. The reason I purchased these was so I could have four tips together with even spacing between all four.

Retard Alert! (edited, because I did not fully read your post)

The cai and long tubes do necessitate a proper tune.

The info below would be a theory under stock conditions.


More than likely, the car is going in and out of decel fuel shutoff. With the stock mufflers, it is minimized. The catback does not need any sort of a retune, this (based on what I've seen) is an annoyance only.

If, knowing the tune is not an issue, and you still want it removed (or minimized), an experienced tuner can deal with the decel and coast fuel to alleviate this problem accordingly.
