Who here has bolt on parts with no tune? Do you think it makes a difference?
I want my drivetrain warranty but I don't know if my money would better be spent on suspension parts or bolt ons.

The only bolt on worth a damn is a tune. So....suspension it is!
+1 most people have reported a loss of torque with an intake or exhaust without a tune. Intercooler may be the only bolt on I would do without a tune.

If you are not getting a tune send that exhaust back and put the money into some suspension or in the bank

I have a air-raid CAI, Borla S-type axel back kit, Mishimoto intercooler and charge pipes, steeda throttle body spacer(just a pretty piece no real value. Mine is a auto performance pack car and I drove my buddies convert that is 100% stock and it feels like his is "pulling a trailer" so yes they make a difference and I have a tune and a ton of steeda suspension stuff but haven't uploaded the tune or put the suspension on

It felt like mine pulled harder with the MBRP Race without a tune, but that could have been in my head. :shrug:

I ended up taking it off though, that thing had some serious drone (it sounds great aside from that).

The stock system is dreadful. At least it will have some character to it now. But I want to find a dealer that would be willing to warranty me even with adam's tune (slim chance I know).

If you are not going to tune it trade in for a gt.

Imo the car stinks from the factory not gonna sugar coat it The car is not fun to drive. I guess it is decent for what it was designed for which is an economy car that looks nice.

I think ford had more than just economy in mind when they designed it or it would've been the base model. An economy car is my daughters scion ia(mazda2) that gets 45 mpg.But is peppy around town. The Eco is a good balance on performance and economy hardly an "economy car"

Yea it's definitely not an economy car. I think the stock tune is plenty fun around town with its low RPM torque, it's just much improved with an aftermarket tune.
