Default TestPipe and Exhaust, is ECU management required?

Will the stock ECU need to be reflashed for this combo? Are these mods enough to make the car lean/rich and cause damage?

Thanks,
Erik

Not at all. You could get a VAFC and tune to make it put out the max HP with that set-up, but it isnt necessary. You dont really need any EM until you get into something like a turbo kit or SC with bigger pullys and injectors.

Even with a VAFC over time the ECU will reset those settings back to stock anyway. I normally just reset the ECU after installation.

No PCM besides the 06 and newer can be reflashed.

Not true if you only set the VAFC to come on at like 80% lo and 81% hi throttle position

No problem. Curious why you asked? Are you picking up an S?
