upsolute is a good choice...theyre services are fairly priced compared to the other options...just make sure you arent planning on doing any other mods before you get your ecu flashed....

If money is an issue those two companies or SpeedTuning will do you fine. I have SpeedTuning and it is nice,but does run rich.

so you say i should first get the exhaust and then tune it right?
if i get the tune first and than exhaust could i just disconect the battery and have the ecu relearn that there is more flow or ijust have to get the mods first than the exhaust

no....once you have an aftermarket exhaust or turbo on the vehicle, the ecu will need to be remapped/flashed...you will have to "rechip" it with upsolute....it makes a lot more sense to do any other mods your going to do first then get your ecu chipped...
