Awhile ago, I changed the entire exhaust system on my 98 rt/10. Someone mentioned to me, I should have the ECM tuned or modified. Is this a good idea and what are the costs, ramifications (pro and con) of doing this?

What did you do exhaust system wise? Any other mods?

Roe will do tunes for you. If your Viper is running well, I'd not worry about a tune.

If you do not plan on doing multiple changes in tuning, a Direct Flash may be more beneficial to you cost wise. You can contact us if interested in this option.

sorry for my ignorance, but what is a direct flash?

no other mods, just the corsa and high flow cats.

This is where the PCM is flashed directly, rather than with an SCT Tool. Basically, it gives you a single tune file, for a reduced cost, as you are not paying for SCT Hardware. The downside, is that for multiple tune changes, you are shipping your PCM back and forth. The Direct Flash method is ideal for known packages and basic upgrades, while the SCT Tool is ideal for actual tuning processes.
