Catless

Is anyone running a cat-less exhaust WITHOUT a tune? If so any problems? And what codes are you reading through an OBD II scanner. Thanks guys

I don't think its necessary to tune the car for just an exhaust. But then again if you are running a full catless headerback exhaust your car might run rich and it would need a tune.

Might as well just get a tune. Thats like saying, To add more power or not to add more power. Unless you ask because of a budget.

As mentioned before you don't need a tune especially if your going to get more mods sometime in the NEAR future...but you will be running rich.

You more than likely will throw codes being catless and put car into limp-mode. The tunes out there clear the codes and prevent the car into going into limp-mode.
