nope, but tune is always a good thing to get the max benifits of any mod.

I'm in the same boat as you. I want to get a tune, but I don't know if I should get the tune first or the intake first. I want to go get the tune because I know it will be a while before I get the intake. The closest place to get my tune would be in Daly City, Ca which is like an hour mins away from my house so I really don't want to go twice.

you don't need a tune for the intake.

get a tune when you change the pulley.

So wait Frank, are you saying it's a waste to get a tune if my car is stock?

No, but it is better to tune it after the pulley kit so you don't have to tune it twice

Yeah, that is true but I just got the quad exhaust done on my car which cost me a pretty penny so I'm not going to dish out another $800 for a tune and pulley. I need to save a little
