I was told last night that I have to buy the COBB Accessport and tune my car before I can put on my high flow cat test pipe. I didn't know that other wise I probably wouldn't have bought the pipe since I can't afford the Accessport right now. Can I just put my high flow cat test pipe on and not worry about tuning my car?

Great advise

I had to cancel the order things are tough money wise for me right now. Sorry I didn't look to see if anyone put up other threads regarding this situation I apologize. Thanks for all your help.
:angrydomo: Don't be sorry. Lots of people just ask before searching. Save monies before dipping into mods, you'll need the cash.

I did save up just my mom lost her job so it's time to save up since I might have to start chipping in with the bills. Worse comes to worse if things get bad I'll sell my ETS V2 Extreme exhaust system.
I figure I just ask since everyone seems to know what there talking about on this site.

I know this thread is two months old, and have read lots of posts ..and this question is answrred alot, but i feel no one explains why. As im also confused. If the first 02 sensor is your main reading and the 02 in the cat is just for emmisions, why would a high flow cat affect your tune? I understand that it would flow better, but how would this cause your motor to run lean? I dont post much on hete but read in this site everyday, can a guru explain? Thanks in advance.

So since your turbo will spool faster than normal your afr will be the same but will not be in timing with the spool? Im a little confused because i dont understand how the afr would change.. Just the spooling of the turbo.
