Halltech intake and Corsa X-pipe...
So I recently installed the Halltech CAI and installing a 3" Corsa X-pipe tomorrow. For those that have the same mods, did you tune your car?
I actually want to tune the car as I feel it's safer to do so, and I will once I can get one of the local shops to get me in, but what I want to know is how "dangerous" is it to go WOT with these two mods without a tune? Should I be conservative with the gas pedal until I get the tune?
Thanks in advance

I've got the Halltech CAI with the Corsa Extreme Exhaust and their double Helix X-Pipe (along with a Throttle Body Spacer) with NO TUNE....works fabulously!

Do you think you are hurting the car more so than helping it with these mods and no tune? Not a rhetorical question, really wondering.

You will improve performance and definitely improve the sound with just the CAI and X-pipe, especially if you add the axle back exhaust. These mods should not effect the factory warranty, however once you add headers and a tune, you are on warranty thin ice.

Thanks for the replys, even though most of the replys didn't answer my question, lol.
On a side note, X-pipe went on today and what a great mod!! Just the perfect amount of sound IMO. Highly recommended.
