So I have had my evo for over two years now and my only mods I had done were a ETS catback exhaust and a WORKS drop in filter. As of recently, I picked up an ETS titanium IC piping Kit. I installed it about a week ago, as well as a K&N cone filter with the MAF adapter to the corrugated pipe.

So far the car is running great on th stock tune, no idle issues or issues with boost. I plan on taking the car to english racing in washington to get the car tuned eventually since Idaho doesn't have any reputable tuning locations. However, that won't be until summer. Am I safe to run the exhaust, piping, and filter for awhile without any issues? I have done tons of research on the forum (trust me) and there are some people who think if you tighten a bolt too tight you need a tune. I'm just thinking realistically for safe reasons, what the car can compensate for, not necessarily benefit from in power.

Let me know your thoughts!

 

Some will say you can, some will say you shouldnt. The choice is up to you. Will the car blow up right away, probably not. However, i would say get the tune. Extra poinies never hurt anybody who could ride them.

 

you will be fine. Also, before getting the tune i would suggest getting a O2 housing and 3" downpipe with a HFC or TP. don't forget a walbro.

 

I definitely plan on picking all of this up before I get my tune!

I also don't drive the **** out of my car. I drive like an old man lol. So it's definitely not like I'm pushing the car to it's limits with daily driving if that makes sense.
