I'm lost in downpipe land. Help. I've read that if I install a catted downpipe that I MUST also have a custom ECU tune. Without the custom tune the engine will run poorly, if at all, and will set tons of error codes (DTCs). But ... on the americanmuscle.com website they discuss downpipes and claim that a custom tune is NOT necessary with an aftermarket catted downpipe. The car will run fine but the performance will not be optimized.
So what's the truth? Can I really install a COBB or Mishi or Borla catted downpipe without a custom tune? Or without a COBB Access Port tune? Or will the car be useless without some sort of modified tune?
I understand that a custom tune will improve the performance of the car but the question is can I drive the car trouble free with a catted downpipe without the tune?
