Default Tune open DP or w/ exhaust?

I am going to be getting my car tuned in the next day or two, I run full exhaust but would also like be able to drive the car open DP when I want like at the track etc.

My question is should I tune open DP or with the exhaust on?


Exhaust setup is 2.5" turbo back with a straight through resonator and magnaflow muffler. I have a good sized turbo so open dp im sure will help spool up time.

if you tune open dp and then add the exhuast later, your final tune w/ the exhaust will be more conservative

Ok gotcha that makes sense. The car open DP is really not all that loud but I just like the exhuast for things like road trips and not getting tickets lol

no difference in tuning or boost with mine... i guess my full exhaust is pretty damn good.

but i have a e-cutout and only half the exhaust ever goes out it, the other half still goes through the muffler..

id have to say that if it is a street car then get it tuned full exhaust. I had open dp and it really got annoying.
