Do you have to have a tune when using long tubes or will it implode if driven without one?(JK) I want to avoid tuning to protect my warranty,but want rid of the rusted manifolds that are on it now. They were rusted when I picked up my 2014 1LE with 12 miles on it! Will it hurt performance immensely? I would like to clean up the engine compartment that's all, not looking for more performance right now. I know people have had a CEL and some claim not. Thanks

You do not
have to get a tune, however, you will be leaving performance on the table and you will get a check engine light. Meaning that if some legitimate reason for the CEL to come on were to occur you would not know it. I can see how that could used as justification to not cover the repair under warranty thus negating the point of not tuning in the first place. If you want to protect your warranty the best bet is to wait on headers until you are ready to tune and take responsibility if something were to occur. Another option would be shorty headers and high flow cats. They do not require tuning but the performance gains will not be as strong as long tubes.
