Default Stupid Question about Axle Backs

Im picking up a used set of LMs tomorrow for my bone stock GT. I am 99.99999999% sure that an axle back doesnt require a tune. So my question is, does an axle back need a tune whether its used or not if that makes any difference at all? Thanks!

EDIT: The car is a 2005 GT btw manual.

No tune required / needed for axlebacks. They have no impact on the PCM or performance for that matter, just better tone.

Just thought of something else. I know that there are some parts that are say 07-09 specific and 05-06 specific. Do all the exhausts have the same fitment from 2005-2010? Thanks.

The effect tone only. 05-08 are the same. No tune.
