my cars battery was disconnected for a few days while some repairs were being done, also i'm getting a replacement exhaust "whole exhaust", what i want to know is has any of this affected my powerfc tune, do i need to get it retuned or should i just get a dyno run to see if everything is ok?

thanks

You'll probably need a rough touch up, but not a full tune.

The exhaust might alter it a bit if its more free-flowing than the previous, but there wont be much difference unless the exhaust was super restrictive.

The battery off thing wont affect it though mate, all good from that point of view

So i got a dyno run today, finally, and the car only made 158rwkw as opposed to it's 190rwkw before i got rear ended. All that was changed after i got hit was my exhaust from the cat to the muffler, I got a better muffler this time a stainless steel magnaflow. They guy who I took it to was very helpful and said that the cat itself could be damaged which could be causing the drop in power or just that the timing is out and I need to get it re-tuned. I'm gonna try and get a re tune in the next 1-2 weeks hopefully. The funny thing is the car drives very nicely. no popping sounds, it starts up perfectly in the morning, it's just the drop in power for some reason, also there no missfires or anything like that.

    • Alrighty, I'll have to grab a couple pics and type out something soon in another post. I haven't driven a modern X no, this would be the first one really. Yeah the rental boxes are always cheap as chips right? So I'd doubt that anyone was handing out GTs to go and abuse. But I s'pose I could be wrong for sure. New cars these days though? Pretty unimpressed with what I see now; 20 years and all that, like you said. It just kind of worked out to have these two cars now. I'm pretty pleased with that, don't need much else. I'm sure you lads are right about the temps and for sure, you wouldn't have much time to drive 'em down there if you all were like me. I do hate sweating all over the seats though😆
    • Let large companies that are making money off selling kits do the preliminary engineering for you. If they all do -10, then that is all you'll ever need. 
    • Hopefully it ends up being something manageable, like a hone, rather than a full bore—it would be a huge relief if it’s not as bad as it looks. Hang in there; these setbacks are annoying, but it sounds like you’re handling it as smartly as possible.
    • At the end of the day, it’s all about understanding the odds and being comfortable with the potential cost, whether it’s horsepower on a build or chips on a roulette table. And I have to say, the Laine example made me laugh—some people really do embrace that carefree, “roll and see” attitude!
    • Thanks MBS206, i got that PDF but got abit overhelm with all the connections and tracing of wires. I wasn't expecting to plug the dash harness anywhere. i was just going to use my electronics jumper wires to plug into the right pins like ECU power, ecu ground, ignition trigger etc... I do have a few ratchet straps locking it down tight. Fire extinguisher ready and only a small amount of fuel at a time, enough to submerge the pump.
