    New Dump pipe - does it need a tune??

    Hi guys looking at purchasing a aftermarket dump pipe for my mk6 GTI. Question do I need to get the car tuned after I put it on?? Or can I just put it on?

    What other piping is needed to free up some airflow around the engine? Or is everything ok?? I have put in aftermarket air intakes on previous cars but realise it's more for induction noise as apposed to any real performance benefits.

    Thanks all!!

    Yeah, you need a tune. There's no point fitting the pipe without having the ecu set to take advantage of it. Custom-Code would call it a Phase 2.
