if yur asking about a drop in filter for the stock air intake system then no...

[nlakind]

negative...no tune necessary

[crashergs]

so just an air filter like the ARC induction box?

I was thinking more in the lines of a complete intake kit, like apexi or whatever you guys recommend...

nobody would really recommend that crap unless you wanna make huge hp, like 400 or more... if u just wanna do the basic bolt ons and tune, get around 300-350 whp or so, then stick with a drop in filter like WORKS or K&N....

[crashergs]

can you give me a link to something u would recommend? so this filter just replaces the stock filter box?

the filter replaces the stock paper filter that lies inside your stock air box....hit the search tab and type in "works drop in filter, or k&n drop in filter".... if u still cant find anything type the exact same shit in google and you will get both places home sites..

"do i need a tune for a drop in intake+ filter"

isn't that redundant? instead of getting that You should get a catback to go with that JDM REAR!! O0

You don't need a tune for intake or exhuast even. However a tune will make a difference even on a stock car, since the ECU comes from factory very conservative. Once you start going injectors, cams that change fuel and more air, then you will definitely need one.

K&N Filter or the Work Filter are popular ones.

reflash stock ECU... maximize the gains on the stock parts

Your car will be fine without a tune. Your boost responce might fluctuate without a tune though, and might start a little bit higher on the RPM's...
