need advise. mod before tune or wait till ems?
I have a KnN fpik, 70 mm test pipe, and a 70 mm invidia q300. Should i put them on and run them w/o a tune for about a month before i get an ems to tune them? Or should i just wait for ems unit?
I just want to make sure i wont harm anything... i know the parts will make almost no difference in power until an proper tune is with them.
Thoughts, suggestion??

changing an exhaust system is not gonna take it run "super" lean lol. The ECU is not dumb, it does have the function for some closed loop control using the oxygen sensor to make the richen the mixture slightly. The car will be fine.

I wouldnt do any track days or super aggressive driving with those mods until it is tuned, but that's just me

I had k&n intake, PLM header, Berk 70mm HFC, and invidia q300. I put 20,000 miles with those mods and my s2k ran perfect. So yes you don't know what you are talking about...

Did you ever dyno your car? Internally, what is going on, do you know?
14.7 at wide open throttle, on one of the cars that was at my dyno day. It didnt go below 14 for the pull, if I recall correctly, and usually my memory is pretty good. He had a test pipe, and T1R RT exhaust, oem ecu. It's your choice how you drive your cars though, and with which mods. This is why I say I would not do a lot of aggressive driving on a car without a tune, but again, just my opinion, I dont know what Im talking about yup

yes I dynoed the car and put down 204.3whp. Not bad for a 160,000 miles s2k ehh?? ...and I POP VTEC everyday!!! I checked the plugs while replacing them and they all were light brown. Do some more reading, coz you obviously don't know what you are talking about...
