and cant seem to find the right answer on getting it tuned or not ..help?
i read that you should but alot of people i ask tell me no..so i thought i would as the pros--you guys..thanks

 

You don't need to get it tuned, your car will be fine without it. It will get the best gains from tuning it, though.

 

it wont run lean? thats what i was told....and what if i do the exhaust? still no need for a tune? thanks for the input man

 

YES it will lean it out a little...and you SHOULD get it tuned. And look at it this way, your evo needs a tune anyways and you will be a lot happier w/ the car after you do. Trust me.

 

Lmmfaoooo...! Bro seriously, GET A TUNE. When you upgrade your intake, your afr gets some what thrown off. Read up on all the threads on here and you'll see a high percentage of people whom know what they're talking about will say the following, "it is safe to be sorry/ get a tune." Not only will your ride perform better, but you'll avoid alot of future consequences.

 

I would not bother getting a tune. Most of the companies that make intakes say you dont require a reflash or anything of the sort if that is the only mod you have. As well if Mitsu finds out that your ECU has been flashed or re-mapped I can guarantee they will try and NOT honor your power train warranty.

There is no danger in leaning the car out to the point of engine damage with JUST and intake.

 

Don't X's out of the factory already run pretty rich? Maybe its the other way around, but if they do, leaning it out might help a bit.

The X's tune is conservative out of the box anyway, so even without any mods you'll see an improvement from getting a tune.

 

Well they would probably void the warranty if they see the intake itself. Anyways, to answer the question, the intake by itself does not require a tune, however you might have AFR problems as well as codes...also as someone else mentionned, your gains will multiply when you combine mods with tune. It really depends how easy or hard it is for you to get a tune.

Hope this helps!

 

thanks for the imput again everyone..now to just find a good tuner down in south texas

wat other mods you plan on doing? theres no point in gettin a tune after every single mod, so unless your not gona do more mods or at least in the near future you shouldnt waste your money on a tune just yet.

 

i was gonna throw on the Greddy SE exhaust next month ..so i should just wait?

 

yes, im sure everyone would agree.
on my evox i plan on doin full bolt ons first, so far i have a cat back and soon an intake and i wont tune it till after i get downpipe test pipe and intercooler.

 

Stop posting and start reading until you stop talking nonsense.

 

I'm in kinda the same boat... I got a greddy intake first then a hks hi power cat back, then a access port v3. I just installed a stm aluminum test pipe and I'm trying to figure out if it's going to be safe to run a off the shelf map from Cobb or if I need a pro tune asap.
