My first performance upgrade, do i need a tune?
 

Got my 2015 brz last fall. Finally summer is here and got my first performance upgrade. Installed a brandnew aftermarket headers and exhaust catback. Is there a need for a tune after the upgrade? If so, what kind of tune? Need some advice.ty!

Hi R3b00T, congratulations on your first performance upgrade.

What kind/brand of header ...... catted or catless .. ??

As I understand it, a tune would allow your engine to make more power from your exhaust modifications.

Others will be along shortly, to offer some suggestions for a type of tune.

Its a mxp uel header with overpipe match with mxp catback exhaust..catted!
Thanks for a quick input and waiting for others to jibe in..

yeah, there is the OFT or Ecutek for tunes.

Both have their pro's and cons, but there are many users for both.

I have personally used both, and had fantastic results with both tuning systems.

Since you have a header now, it is quite important to have a tune. Without it, you'll throw a CEL (check engine light) because the car will think the catalytic converter isn't working.

A tune will give you more power, better economy and peace of mind knowing your engine is running the way it should.

Use Torque and a bluetooth OBD2 port reader

He said it was catted. Should probably tune anyways though
