Basic bolt ons and with a tune ?
I have an 09 ss and started thinking about basic bolt ons. Do you need a tune once basic bolts on are on or is it safe to run with factory? I do not want to void warranty with a tune, basic bolt ons don't void the warranty do they? Whats beast bang for buck without voiding warranty if possible? thanks

Basic bolt ons aren't going to do a thing but change the sound of the car without a tune. The stock tune will "learn" the bolt ons and de-tune your car to maintain factory tq levels.

And so basically its not worth buying an intake, exhaust, inter-cooler piping etc unless i get a tune? And when you said about learning the mods and will tune it to keep factory tq so basically its making the car run rougher/shittier?

Theres a thread about this and ppl said they can tell you swapped it out and you start have problems because mileage is incorrect

Not to be a doushbag, but I have a spare ECU and the mileage is actually in the Body Control Module (BCM) not the ECU so mileage is not an issue. Link to anyone having issues?

If you change anything, there is a chance you will be denied warranty service. If you change nothing, there is a chance you will be denied warranty service.
Thinking you will be covered with a GM Stage 1 kit is also a pipe dream. They'll just use that kit to figure out who the "abusers" are.
