Default Longtubes- tune?

As of now my car has been tuned by janetty racing of waterbury. I am now thinking of doing long tubes. Will i need to retune the car again or will i be alright. Right now it is tuned for all the mods in my sig.

I threw mine on the dyno after the long tubes just to be sure. It needed no retuning.

If you can swing it, not a bad idea

That's a lot of money to me just for the minimal power increase. Just my opinion...maybe it'd be more worth it if the tune was in conjunction with other add ons. Can you do it with your handheld tuner?

Most likely you will get a check engine light for slow responding 02 sensor a custom tune is required to fix that.
