Tune required?

cali_m5 · 12-20-2016, 11:47 AM

I have a 2016 M5 & I got an exhaust system and an intake for it
RPI-GTM exhaust
MSR intake
& I might wanna re-install the cat less downpipes. (Still iffy abt it)

I have the rpi installed already and I just ordered the msr's
My question is do I need to do a stage one tune to keep the hp and torque from decreasing?

Thank you!

All your mods will feel like they added nothing after you get a tune!

I think he is saying the tune makes such a big difference that the intake and exhaust will feel marginal. Tune is required for catless exhaust: removes heat cycle on start up and CEL caused by lack of cats (o2 sensor sets off CEL).

LMFAOO ooooh cuz I was told I needed a tune just for the intakes cuz it throws off the air and fuel ratio so I'd lose hp instead of a little gain

LI-M5 · 12-20-2016, 02:26 PM

Create a relationship with a trusted shop and stop listening to the yahoo's that told you this.
