I wanted to put an intake for my trip back to Tucson, AZ. Do you REALLY need to tune it or can I just install it and drive away? I know there is a lot of literature on this but I want the quick answer. I wanted to go all Cobb, however I've seen some promising dyno charts on the AEM intake.
drive it really carefully the first 1000 miles or else the apocalypse will happen and all hell will break loose... oh and get that oil change done around the 1050 mark and you should be golden... congrats!
Drive the car for a while before you decide which mods to get. Figure out where you think the car needs improvement and work to fix those things first.
Don't follow the typical path of mods simply because that's what others have done. You may find the power of the car perfectly fine. If so, you'd be wasting money going that direction.
