Tune after Exhaust system install?
 
just wanted to know if it is recommended to get a tune after putting in a air intake and exhaust system?

Comments very much appreciated!

A tune is not necessary after installing a CAI or exhaust, you will only gain about 10 - 15 hp from all these mods.

recommended but not mandatory. also don't expect any crazy power gains even with the tune.

ok thanks for your comments! reason im asking is that I changed my transmission fluid but the tranny itself is old so I don't want the tranny to screw up if they put it on the dyno! is it a risk worth taking or just install the mods and leave it! would I still gain those small hp or I would need a tune to gain them?

Those bolt on mods won't really get you big gains, just a little bit...very little.

So then you take it to a track and then you're told you can't drive because you're to loud :lol2:
