CAI systems WITHOUT a tune...

meadowsdb · 03-19-2019, 03:48 PM

Hey all,

Are there any issues with running a CAI on these cars WITHOUT tuning it? I know the power gains will be minimal, but are there any risks involved?

Tommy L Garage · 03-19-2019, 04:15 PM

None. I’ve been running it for months now

Intakes simply do not make any power other than the filters - with or without a tune.

Awesome. I was looking at doing some open air filters, primarily for the sound and small response increase. Turbo Spool is sexy.

I ran ssr for 3000 miles with no tune and no CEL. Made all the fast and furious noises you could ask for
