Default Do I need a new tune?

I have the Steeda intake currently with the OEM tube. I bought the Steeda inlet tube to make it look a little better. Does it affect the tune at all? I figure no since the maf opening is still the same.

Thanks

I tried checking with Doug but either he is really busy or avoiding my email.

ive heard that you should get a new tune for OPTIMAL performance... this is what Brenspeed said when I had the car up there this past January. It isnt absolutely needed, but it can make a difference (not necessarily noticable)...

Steeda says no tune adjustment is needed for their inlet tube if their Cold Air Intake is already being used with either an SCT or a Predator canned tune:

So a tune from Doug should also be ok. But suggest waiting for a response from him just to be on the safe side.

It's not needed I don't think a tune would be made for both stock inlet tube and a smooth CAI tube just a waist of time. Bolt on the tube and enjoy
