IC piping
I've got the trifecta multi-stage tune and might be getting some charge pipes here soon, just wandering if a tune update is absolutely necessary?? Also, anyone have issues with Injen's?

Oh really? I always thought you had to retune after any bolt on to gain anything. I guess it's just with the stock tune you won't get any gains then, right?

I did not change my tune actually. It gained approx 6-7 whp up top from simply installing the chargepipes. (It was actually 11-13 whp gained from the IC and charge pipes together.) No retune is required after installing chargepipes or an IC. Only an intake or catless DP needs a retune.

I'm on a stock tune right now and I just bought the Injen Charge Pipes (From TTR) and installed them this weekend. I know I didn't make any HP gains because I don't have a tune however the turbo just seems more eager to play comes on a little bit quicker The stock Charge Pipes after removing them I noticed are really restrictive in some points and the Injen Pipes by comparisson are nice smooth mandrel bends and the diameter of the pipe isn't always changing. Instal was super easy and they sit very nicely in the engine bay especially with the bracket that attaches to the manifold.

Hey guys, I see that you need to retune after a catless DP. However, If I was to say upgrade to a high flow CATTED downpipe from say clear image or Hahn, would I need to retune? Anyone test out those hi-flow catted downpipes?
