Will I need a tune?
Hey guys, I know eventually Ill get a tune, but as of this weekend, Ill have on a 2018 XLT SCREW, AFE CAI, hot and cold CAC pipes, mid pipe, and down pipe. My thought is with the downpipe is when Id probably have to do a tune but was told I don't, I just wont have the full benefit of the dp along with everything else which I understand. I can hold up on the dp if it would be the single item forcing me to get a tune right away.

AFe told me their catless downpipe would not cause me to get a check engine light and that a tune was not needed. It did in fact throw an efficiency code (didn't drive any different though) so I dealt with the CEL for a while, you could hide it with a picture or something I guess if the light bothers you. Just did a 5star tune but haven't really had any miles on it yet. The turbo whistle sound soo good with down pipes. It was one of my favorite mods.
So I guess to answer your question, you don't NEED to do a tune right away, but you'll be glad when you do.
