Question: Downpipe without tune?

jzingerman · 01-29-2012, 04:01 AM

I'm wondering if having a downpipe without a tune would be okay? I found a great deal for a 4" Berk Downpipe but at the moment I don't have enough to also get the tune. Would it be okay if I put in the downpipe without a tune or will it create problems with the car? Please let me know.

Thank you

Only problem you will have is codes thrown and a check engine light. Other than that you should be fine.

currently running just dp. i had a tune along with it but I'm running without a tune until the summer.

If you're planning to get the tune in the future, then you're fine.
Some time without it won't kill you.

Would I get problems from the dealer if I bring it into service with the dp in?

its not gonna hurt anything by just running a dp. Everyone says tune before dp because you can run more aggressive maps with a DP. Your more likely to get problems from a tune then a dp IMO.

just clear your codes before you go in with a CAN tool

I love my BMS downpipe. Have it with the JB4 tune. Put them on at the same time.

The stock exhaust sounds amazing with the downpipe.

Best of luck!
