First time modifying vehicle questions about tune
So i had my car torn down and had some parts thrown in at my shop. Tuned the car with the cam made 473whp. However at the same time i put on headers that are catless, i plan to get high flows soon. But i also have a NPP exhaust, being catless and cammed/tuned would i need to worry about a re-tune typically by setting up a controller for the valves and running it closed at idle/low speed when im leaving my apartment complex? Wouldnt expect to do it but 10% of my driving time and not under hard accel. Not sure if it would add "backpressure" or throw things off majorly. First time modifying a car (outside my mustangs catback & k&n intake.
Thanks, 2013 Camaro SS M6 Parts -Speed Engineering Headers -TSP Stage 3 Cam -JLT Intake -misc. pushrods/trunnion/springs/lifters etc. |

Don't need tune for the baffles. Keep it open. Minimal sound difference. People use mild to wild switch all the time. I opted out for that feature and just did a muffler mod.

I would imagine you will need to retune it after you install the cats.

I appreciate the responses I am looking to build my own controller for the valves. And I do expect to retune after the cats just figuring a valve controller could be a potentially cheaper and quicker solution to save my lease ��. With no cats and a xpipe she is very rowdy and I love it, just thinking the neighbors windows 10ft from the car may not at 6:30am.

I'm catless and my air fuel ratio has no change when I open my NPP exhaust. Cats will need a retune if you install them. As far an a Mild 2 Wild goes, you don't need to buy one. A simple switch is all that's needed. I went a little overboard, but here's a video of mine.
