I am assuming that you are referring to a Corsa catback system. There is a very minimal horsepower increase. You may see a little HP increase at the very top end of the RPM range but you will probably not notice anything. However, the sound will give you the impression that the car is faster. No, you will not need a tune for a catback and K&N filter.

However, if you install a complete exhaust including headers, then yes you will see HP increase and you will need a tune.

No you don't need a tune for minor mods like that.

The stock computer will "learn" and adjust to the modest changes of exhaust and filter. Just drive it around a while and a few wide open throttle blasts for good measure(and fun) will have it running fine!!

with all the above. You won't really notice any hp increase with a catback exhaust.
