Default Tune needed for this mod?..

I'm in the middle of this mod......http://www.conceptualpolymer.com/Rad...t..pdf......By reading various CAI mod threads I'm assuming a Tune is a "must"? I have a Blackwing on there now and a Cat-back exhaust...thoughts on this?...thanks...Paully

For some reason this link is up and down..anyway its a cut-out in the middle of the radiator cover with a mesh screen and plastic scoop (wall pocket-office type) which is directly in front of the blackwing....hope that helps.

I'm almost certain you won't need a tune for these mods that you have done. As far as the cai goes, your computer will reprogram after driving an hour or so. Good luck.

The idle relearn procedure works. That's all you should need.
