I did, no issues at all. It is safe for the stock tune, and does make a difference you'll appreciate

Guys I also noticed on the diablo intune they have a 93 AFE tune. I wanted to use the 91 tune because I dont really trust the gas quality around here. Better safe than sorry. If I install this intake I do not see a 91 AFE tune. Would I be able to use the 91 tune and just install the AFE intake no problems?

There is a 91 AFE tune, just scroll down on the handheld screen What is your local gas/octane?

Well I have some that has 93 like sunuco and mobile but mike from diablo said even some 93 isn't really 93 and a 91 tune would actually run better than a 93 with lower quality gas. Oh ok so there is 91 AFE , perfect!! I'll use that

Sunoco and Mobil are both quality brands. I'd think you'd be fine to trust their 93...but there's never any harm in playing it conservative.

Yes the thing is I plan to take this car on a lot of road trips so at some point there is a good chance I'll be in a situation where 93 is not available. That's why mike from diablo suggested a 91 tune for my car.
