Do I need to tune?

I have a magnaflow catback and cold air intake, looking to put long tube headers on. Am I gonna need to get my car tuned with those mods? I know it would make my car all that better, but do I have to or will the stock computer adjust enough that I won't hurt my baby?

Yes it will adjust but you will get a CEL with the LT's...

So if you want the best performance from your mods you should get a tune. But you put the engine warranty at risk if you do...

It's a tough call if you have to have a warranty...

It's not required, but you won't see the full benefit without a tune. The cold air intake affects it more than anything. The long tubes will just throw codes.
