Do you really need a computer reflash or a tune when you install a new intake system or is it optional??? Cause i saw some cold air intakes on ebay for $75.......but i'm not really sure if the car will need a computer reflash...

 

If you get a K&N,Airraid, or WMS you won't need a tune. If you plan on getting a JLT, or C&L your going to need one. I wouldn't recommend buying some no name intake from ebay. Seeing as your planning on getting an intake though I recommend you get a canned tune from Bamachips or Brenspeed. The handheld held device will come in handy for future mods and checking those check engine lights.

FYI-I had my K&N aircharger intake w/o a tune for almost a month and didn't have any problems.

You don't need a tune with the AFE as well. I had that one before the mod bug hit big time.

I'm in agreement with Leo, I would just save up for a xcal2, tune and cai combo. I had the bama tune with a TI cai and was very happy with it.

 

+2... CAI/Tune. You will probably eventually get the set-up anyway. So save the time and money and do it right the first time. I speak from experience as I waivered and purchased a CAI, then sold it and went with a CAI/Tuner combo...
