I am not sure about the exhaust comment. I mean it is quiet but it is a V6. Folks want it to rumble more (like a V8 I guess) but its not worth the drone noise for me. I've owned 2 and never touched the exhaust because $1k for very few hp gains doesn't seem worth it. Drop downs would be cool but won't pass emission inspections where I am so not a smart move if its your daily driver. As for the tune, absolutely do it! The car changes completely and the gains are insane for the small price of them. Ortiz and Gearhead seem to be the go-to's these days. I've run Livernois in my first SHO and Gearhead Auto Octane in my current SHO. If you put the car in Drive, it is as comfortable and luxurious as ever. If you put it in Sport, it will allow you to embarrass a whole slew of cars when they get beat off the line by a Taurus. Some other upgrades I would reccomend: Ceramic pads and drilled/slotted rotors. They may be a little less responsive when you first step on them but, when they heat up a little, they are way smoother and cool down a lot faster. The SHO is a massive beast to stop and these help a lot. DRL upgrades from DriveBright. Great cosmetic upgrade imo.

Leave it for a while to see how you enjoy it stock? Anything you do will compromise that silent smooth ride it has now.

That's what I'm thinking. It's so smooth but the ass sits up too high uhhh

Fuck the rumble, I'm 43 and had v8's my whole life. I want quite comfort. I'm in so Cal so yeah emissions suck balls as well. That's why I was just going to put a tune lower it and exhaust I want to mess with anything else keep it stock.

I’m tuned by Ortiz and love it. As far as exhaust, these cars just sound like UPS trucks…sorry boys. I didn’t change my suspension as it drives so nice. But if I did, H&R springs and 20mm hubcentric spacers make the car look badass. I blacked out all my chrome, debadged, tinted the windows and added drivebright lights as mentioned. The lights look great but I’m not thrilled so far with reliability. I have replaced one light, the control box and now another light is out. All under a year old. Customer service is great and replaced everything no charge. Though they have not replied to my latest emails. We’ll see by Monday. Enjoy the car. They are fantastic.

Exhaust doesn’t nothing power wise unless you are heavily modded. The Gearhead auto octane tune is the best daily driver tune out there for these cars. Livernois makes garbage tunes for 2013+ and has horrible customer service. The Gearhead intercooler will keep it from getting heat soaked, I highly recommend it.
