LT's, X pipe, !cats - OK to drive untuned, long distance? I've got a trip coming up this weekend and the wife wants to take the TA.
I just got headers, X pipe, etc installed, no cats. Is it safe to drive 200 miles at a clip, untuned? I wouldn't mind driving it down this weekend myself, but not if I'm going to get 20 mpg highway and crud things up LOL.

I don't think I would run without a tune. Unless you like the smell of unburnt fuel. Way to rich. Maybe you need another reason to get on it and blow the carbon out. LOL !

No tune here. I don't plan to tune it until I get a cam actually.
