Default Tune Needed??

I was reading somewhere that if you had an off-road pipe that you need to get your car re-tuned and if so, i mean is this REALLLY something i need to do NOW or can it wait. If i need to do it, i might just get that CAI from Brenspeed and get some Steeda Under Pullies and do it all at once.

you don't have to have it re-tuned. the only reason you do so is because the cats are removed it sets off a check engine light. If you don't want to re-tune you can buy MIL eliminators which fool the sensor and turn off the light.

they are like 50 or 60$ though.

I have heard that off-road pipes can cause our cars to run a bit lean at WOT.. check the mixture, other than that no tuning really needed.
