new owner, few questions

Hey guys I just picked up my 04 mcs about 2 weeks ago and I'm sure I'll have plenty more questions but 2 that I can't seem to find answers on are there any popular tuning platforms/do you even need a tune? My car has an intake, exhaust, stock cats, 17% pulley. Also I'm looking to change the audio system up a bit, where is the stock HK amp located? Going to need to remove it to install my aftermarket ones. Thanks!

A tune would be helpful and would be best to upgrade your injectors to at least 380cc to get full benefit. There are canned tunes and custom options depending on your location and budget.
There are lots of thread on stereo upgrades in the forum. Have a look around.

Thanks for the response, I can't find anything specific on tuning. I'll have a look at the audio section, doubt I looked around hard enough haha
