Default SLP LT's installed is tuning necessary?

I just installed my Slp lt's this past weekend. I'm running race pipes with the loudmouth exhaust. Just wondering if I should have any kind of tuning done and how much would it cost? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="images/icons/confused.gif" />

Yes, you should have it tuned. If you increase the efficiency of the exhaust system then you should make sure that the computer's tune is up to the task of the new found power. Some people actually "feel" no gain from longtubes because the computer is not tuned to the setup. As far as price I don't know that would depend on your tuner, ask around and get some opinions on who knows what the hell they are doing.

Later,
Bart
