Turning the o2 sensors off will prevent codes being thrown if you go to an off road type exhaust. This type of exhaust will eliminate the cats so you might throw some codes. Shutting the sensors off doesnt effect the performance of the car though really

Well, like others said, those are what you will get when you have a tune. The only negative is it will make you spend more money on the car for more and more mods, which everyone here does and are happy to.lol...good luck.

The only negative is that you will void your warranty if you have any...... But who am I, I did a tune with 220 miles on my car.. LOL

I would say, gas millage, can't keep my foot off the loud pedal!
