Problems with Bama tune

About a month ago I installed a steeda cold air intake and accompanying Bama tune on my 2015 automatic GT. The emissions light came on and remains on. Also at times when starting the car it begins to rev usually getting up to about 3200 rpm. An audible dull clunk sound can be heard seemingly coming from the front drivers side. This noise usually occurs about a minute after start up. Furthermore the sync head unit continuously crashes. Seems awfully coincidental that the sync which had no problems before just happened to coincide with installing the tune. I hope this “tune” does not end up damaging my car.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Did you see what code it is throwing? Did you call Bama?

I wouldn't drive it like that. Stock is better than messing your car up

Actually I spoke with Bama and they sent a new tune. Everything appears to be fine now. In fact I have to compliment Vincent the tech at Bama for being so patient and helpful.

Bama has stepped up their game in recent years due to more competitors being out there... they get a bad rap for having conservative tunes but personally I'd rather have a conservative tune on my car that wont destroy it especially since its a new car with 3k miles on it and I already voided my warranty and its my daily lol.
