Tuning needed with X-Pipe install?

[LaughingGT]

if i was to install a x pipe on my 2006 would i have to get a cutom tune or will it be alright ???

Off-road, high flow cats, FRPP little x-pipe? It makes a difference with the cats, and you probably should tune the car anyway... you'll gain *some* HP and torque just with the tune.

i have a tunner and am planning on useing it just wanted to know if it would do any damage at all thats what im scared of it would be a mac x pipe

Have you done any other mods such as a cold air intake? If all you are doing is adding an x-pipe with no other mods, you can probably hold off on the tune until you're more comfortable with it.

no need to tune, hope it makes it sound nice and gives you a little extra kick in the butt.

i have a cold air on it already but its the short ram air one no the one that gose in the wheel well

If it's JUST the x-pipe, no tune is necessary.

so no code poped for u

Nope. Between my $75 X pipe and $200 Borla Stingers, I picked up 15HP and no codes.

Which reminds me...I gotta weld this stuff in. I hate "clamps".

do u still have the cats on it?

 

[GT400SC]

Yup, didn't touch any of the smog stuff. 100% original and LEGAL!

 

[LaughingGT]

hahah that could be my probliem then mine is not a splice in its a full no cat, is there much of a difference with the splice and full not cat performance wise?

 

[GT400SC]

I would guess yours breathes easier and probably yield a couple of HP more.

 

[LaughingGT]

was it hard to instal the spliced one?

 

[GT400SC]

no

 

[LaughingGT]

came with instalation clips and everything did u have to do any cutting

 

[GT400SC]

yes

You could always ask Orange for some help with welding.

 

[GT400SC]

I do my own welding.

 

[LaughingGT]
