tuning advice needed
I have been doing a lot of research for the past few months and am about to begin modding my car this summer. as of now i plan to eventually have these aftermarket upgrades:
Racing Beat exhaust
Racing Beat Intake with duct
AF SS
MM Cobb AP
BHR ignition kit
From what ive read im pretty sure this is a solid setup to start off with. what's still hazy for me is how the tuning works. Ive looked into DIY tuning and its all way over my head. so i guess this is a newb question but lets say i bought the exhaust/intake and AP at once would i need to contact MM to tune my car? can a dealership do this kind of thing? or is tuning even totally necassary for this situation.
or... would i use the maps on the AP to get the right tuning...

I wouldnt buy the Cobb from MM until you have everything you want on the car installed. That way all you have to do is the necessary datalogging. You dont really have anything on your list that requires extensive tuning so even if you put everything on drove around on the stock map it wont hurt anything. But MMs service is only for 6 months, so make sure you use it wisely.

telling this guy he should just use the factory intake.
am i missing something??
YOU MUST USE THE FACTORY INTAKE SYSTEM ONLY. NO OTHER AFTERMARKET
INTAKES ARE CERTIFIED COMPATIBLE WITH THIS CALIBRATION. THE INSTALLATION OF ANY OTHER
HARDWARE SUCH AS HEADERS OR CATLESS EXHAUST MAY ALLOW THE VEHICLE TO RUN LEANER THAN
