I'm in the process of installing your downpipe, hi-flow cat, int. pipe and axle back muffler. Can one drive this exhaust for awhile without a tune and not hurt the car. The car has you're drop in filter as well, all else on the car is stock.

Kinda wondering the same thing I have a Perrin dp n catback also a Perrin mbc and boost tube kit.
Been holding off installing parts. I know a tune is the right thing to do, saving money either its going to go for a cobb a/p or Sean Ivey. Leaning towards the A/P little more versatile but the reviews have been a little sketchy.

I drove my car with the 3" TBE exhaust with cat delete and drop-in filter on the stock map which comes when you buy the car new, and had no problems, logged it several times in different conditions and never had anything out of the norm, all was good, but get a tune and it will really unlease a good amount of power, which will be very noticable. if your getting them mods then you should get the best out of them, but if your only waiting a few weeks or whatever it should be safe. do some research though on here, this is just my experience

C'Mon you dont need a tune for that. A tune will make more power but the stock map is ultra safe. You are in the high 9 to low 10 AFR when stock
