Is a tune needed for adding custom intake

[secretprototype]

If I were to add in an aftermarket intake on my 2013 ltz and carry over the existing maf and sensors, do I have to tune or will the car still run correctly.

If the pipe the MAF is going into is a different diameter from the outlet of the stock airbox then you will need a tune.

I'm running the DDM intake, no tune...no worries.

But long run...YES a tune is needed for every 1.4T regardless, as I hear it's AWESOME!

Soon......soon

Indeed a tune will be done, probably further into my warranty. So if i cut the little section that the MAF sits in on the SAB and pipe it with a custom filter with the stock insert would that work or would the whole pipe have to be the same diameter as stock?

Really not worth it. Just pick up a used intake or a CXracing intake they are fairly cheap but remember no gains will be seen without the tune

in that case intake your car away lol I tubed mine down behind fog and letting off the throttle is more noticeable from outside
