If you're not worried about your warranty, most people are gonna say a tune is going to be your best bang for your buck. The intake won't don't too much as far as hp/trq numbers (especially because of the learn down feature), but you will get a more recognizable "bov" sound.

Tune for sure. Or save it and wait for the stage kit if they ever release it for the balts.

WHy don't you get a tune first from Trifecta for 250 and Tint ?


A CAI is going to give you 0 gains and possible CEL without a tune ..

Depending on what CAI you have you will not get a CEL. That is why I said save up $50 so he can afford a CAI and tune.

economy sucks, save it... unless your military

and no warranty does not void with a CAI

Magnuson moss act


but if it does do it, swap it back to stock before going to dealership
