The hot side piping on my ss was upgraded before I bought it. I haven't seen an aftermarket name on it and was wondering what it may be from, maybe an upgrade or from a tune? How would I know if it was tuned before buying?

Depends on the kind of tune you are speaking of. The GM upgrade tune, I believe, has visibly identifiable sensor upgrade. The aftermarket tunes may be a little harder.......possibly with a scan tool or laptop and software to read the fuel tables/ etc.

Ok thanks man.

14-17 lbs of boost is the normal range for stock SS's. Boost can vary because of conditions such as altitude, air quality etc.

If you're getting 19 lbs or more, then it's most likely got some sort of tune.

the big angle on the hot side looks like injen ic pipe to me?

Those are Dejon Powerhouse's charge pipes. Pretty sure they are out of business now. It's too bad, that's one less vendor we have for our platform. They made quality stuff too.

Thank y'all.
Yeah I'm only at 15-16# that I've seen so far so probably stock. Preciate the responses. I'm wanting to do more and wanted to be sure about what I already had.

Trifecta tunes these cars with "select a tune" feature which means that the tune can be turned on a couple different ways. One is with the cruise button and the other way is with the traction control button in comp mode(push traction control button twice) or esc off mode (push and hold the traction control button for 10 seconds). May want to check that too..

Yeah it about the same in ever mode from WOT. She's still quick for a 4 banger. I've been running 93 lately and my mileage is gone up a few points. Live around a few 100% gas pumps and want to try the E47 tune. Thanks for the help xtremess
