Now I know everyone says about getting a tune when changing dump or cat but ive spoken to a couple of tuners and they said that it will be better than stock without a custom tune, but obviously better if I got the tune but I dont have $1500+ sitting around.Now my question is can anybody with actual experience tell me if I should be ok? just because on forums and stuff you have people who think they know what theyre talking about when they actually dont.Cheers fellas.

It's going to be overboosting all over the shop and running like crapDon't put it on till you have the funds to tune it mate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct me if I'm wrong but I'm pretty sure a single 3" system will flow less than the standard xr6t exhaust.Most of the xforce exhausts on xr6ts consist of a 4" dump, and either a twin 2.5" system or a single 3.5"As above, I wouldn't be putting it on the car until you have funds for a tune. Save a little more and chuck some injectors and a fuel pump in it at the same time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You risk overboosting/blowing everything up. Not to mention car going into good ole flashing D mode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The car had 2 runs on 2 separate dynos (Autotech & C&V) before a tune and it was running fine, I think it recorded 6psi on the autotech dyno.In saying this there were plenty of people who experienced overboost so looks like it depends on the car and also on the exhaust fitted.Yours could be fine or it might not be, it's up to you if you want to risk it. If you really want the exhaust fitted spend another $100 and put it on a dyno to see if it's running ok. If it is than great, if not take it off until you save for a tune. Or just save for a tune as you will get it anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
