No CAI or Tune?

How many of you haven't had your car flashed with a Brenspeed/Bama tune?

I haven't and it'll be a year of ownership this March 3rd! Heck I had the stock intake up untill this past christmas when I bought a used K&N CAI and just sold it with less then a months use.

Of course I have bigger plans in the works to make up for my lack of previous motivation. haha

How many are in the same boat?

Well it's been 15+ hours since you posted and nobody has replied.
That should tell you what a small percentage of regulars here have the stock intake.
My tune is custom from a local shop (not Bama/Brenspeed).
But I think your point was "is it tuned?".
Hey, shouldn't you remove the K&N from your mods list now.

Yeah, maybe your right. I guess I figured there were more poeple like me, hah. Good call on the K&N CAI, took it off my mods list. This coming week is the big purchase .

I'm glad I stuck with a plan in the very beggining to avoid performance mods till I knew EXACTLY what I was doing. It was hard ignoring the call of a tuned CAI.

No tune on my '05, '06, mostly because I don't think my knowledge base is good enough to know what I'm doing and deal with everything else surrounding it too. My '08 is a Bullitt though, perfect for someone like me who probably will never have my car tuned (she says) but still wanted just a little something more.

I got out of the "still stock" club almost two years ago. I think I'm now at the point where it would take less time to tell you what IS still stock vs. the mods. No regrets except for maybe way too little money in the bank now!

Still stock here. Maybe a set of GTA mufflers in the spring.

Still Stock, Really have no need for a Hotter Engine, the Stock one Scares me just Fine.


Warranty and the way I use the Car are the factors that I considered.

Still stock for now. I'm sure there will be a CAI in my future though. I don't plan on a S/C, but anything can happen I guess. I like the idea of the HP from a S/C, but I'm afraid the whine from the S/C will over power the kick a$$ exhaust note these cars have.

Still stock, except the mufflers which don't count except for sound, and I've had my car for a year now. Things just always come up, and the little woman has us on a budget now. I just brought my car home from winter storage yesterday and so I hadn't even driven it for four months. The CAI and tune are definately coming, just as soon as I can do it. Mmmm.... guess I'll have to have a yard sale or something.

Yeah, but if you put back the stock MAF and come up to Pete's and let him tune it...

I know you will see a difference.
(I know it ain't cheap but I think it is worth it.)

Everything stock here, but since the warranty is up since January, I might be looking for GT mufflers or a CAI...

I have made no changes to the tune or intake. I don't have any plans at this point, as this car is a daily driver that I like using 87 octane to fuel.

My car was stock for about 3 weeks before Shifter, alarm, tint, stingers went in. Then a couple months later it was intake/tuner from Brenspeed

I'm completely stock too. Everytime I think of doing something to my car, I start second guessing it. I tend to go through cars pretty quick, and I am kinda thinking why dump money into this when I may only have it for another year. I am eyeing the new Camaro with interest, and quite eager to see what the new Mustang will be like. But I wanna Brenspeed tune...
