In order to not spend money on tuning more than once, I would get all the intake/exhaust done then tune with either Uprev or Ecutek. Where you go depends on where you live. Both tuning software companies list their pro tuners by state. Some other tuners such as Seb at Specialty-Z will tune remotely.

Either is fine. They are basically reflashing a different program onto the ECU. Just make sure you do everything at once then tune. If you do something like headers, tune, then do exhaust and intake, the tune won't be as good. Depending on your model year, you could also do Ecutek, which most seem to like better over Uprev. Where are you located?

Since you have a 2011 you can go with Ecutek. Doesn't seem to be any master tuners quite near you that have gotten very favorable reviews on this board or the370z. Once you get close to installing everything, give Seb @ Specialty Z a call and he can get you remote tuned.

Ask for Seb (Sebastian) and let him know what you are going to do and that you will want a remote tune. He will give some advice and tell you how to do it when the time comes.

Unless you want long tube headers, don't get headers. Waste of time and money, you have to pull the motor to install for very very minimal to no gains. Just get the test pipes, catback, and cold air intake and then get a tune and call it a day.
