The answer would be no. Once you get header/downpipe and exhaust then get a tune after all those mods are done.

^^ The answer is......... It's up to you. Do you want full bolt-ons? OR will the CAI be the end of it? A tune will definitely make your car run better than stock tune with just CAI.

For the time being it will be just the CAI. I'm to broke to afford any other upgrades currently.

Well if your going to get a CAI, get a tune. You want to make sure the CAI won't cause knock. If it makes the engine run rich enough, it can do that. Or at least get your car logged after the CAI install to see if there is knock.

The only reason I want to add some mods is to increase fuel economy.
