430 is a tune required?

You will get a check engine light for the post cat sensors.

Otherwise should run fine though

 

yep. you'll def end up with a check engine light and extenders won't help........... so that's when a tune is a good idea so you can get them to turn off that parameter

the tune can address the error but i wldnt expect much in terms of hp to rear wheels

any owners have dyno results before and after an ECU tune?

 

Ear plugs might help if u can live with it

 

When u start it up, let it warm up without blipping the throttle- mine used to throw codes when i fitted the Capristo manifolds. I now allow it to tick over and get the exhaust sensors hot before i drive it, if any unburnt fuel goes down the pipe it cannot then drown the sensor as it is too hot for the fuel to affect the sensor

 

it usually will not throw a cel until you continuously drive it for at least 300 miles ( 500km). Cat efficiency.
Personal experience.

drive short drives under 300miles each time you'll get a code without a cel. Only seen by hooking up a obd reader.

 

If you dont have a cel yet, you most likely will once you delete the factory cats and install the test pipes. An ecu tune can fix the cel to pass emissions inspection and will maximize hp from your exhaust mods. I'm currently shopping around for ecu tune options for my 430. Not too much info on the subject. Mase engineering seems to be popular on fchat.

 

300 miles here is a long drive

 

I didn't know this secret until I drive my de-precatted 430 from Beijing to Jinan, which is about 350 miles.
