Exhaust advise with down pipe

So I have made up my mind for now what I am looking for is a down pipe and full exhaust for my 2013 S hardtop. Not sure if I need an intake. After I get the exhaust I am going to get it tunned here in florida be either Renntech or PAW. Any advise?

And yes I went to youtube and heard alsta milltek and so on, but not sure if they work together with the application of a tune. Renntek said to go with akrapovic and it is pricey. down pipe 725. full exhaust 1725, plus 945 tune and then labor so about 3800 plus tax.

Yeah how about no on the Akropavic. Way over priced. Get an evolve DP and an Invidia exhaust.

Evolve the company sells the high-flow and catless one, very good prices too. Give their website a look.

I got my DP from Evolve. The fit and finish is absolutely amazing.

+1 for Evolve. Even though they're from the UK the price is very reasonable. Akropovic stuff, while very nice, is just not worth the money on this car. $1700 for a catback is horsesh1t!!!
