If I switch my exhaust from flowmaster to boom tubes will i need my tune redone i got from bamachips since boom tubes are not chambered and are straight. And also will I lose any power switching from flowmaster to boom tubes?

That's really unnecessary.

So i can switch exhaust and not have to get my tune modified. Just switch and go

The tune only modifies your engine and transmission. The exhaust has nothing to do with it. You can drive without anything but headers if you wanted, though it is illegal and probably not too safe.

I'd have to say you might loose a little bottom end power because of lack of compression. I have the BoomTubes on my car, and I did notice a little loss of power in bottom end. But about mid range power I felt a noticeable increase.

Then again maybe it's just me. It isn't a huge difference in loss, if there is any at all.

Also, were you referring to single or dual exhaust? I know BoomTube makes a single. I was referring to duals in my post.

Another thing I'd like to point out with the BoomTubes: when you first start the car up, I personally think they sound more on the ricer side. I have to admit I did not like it very much. But after about 600-1000 miles, they really got a lot deeper sounding and now I love them.

Just wanted to let you know that so you don't just take them off right away and put your flowmasters back on.

Good luck.

Yea im referring to duals. I have had my flowmaster for around 3,000 miles and they do sound better than they did at first but personally i am just not a fan of the flowmaster sound. I want sumthing a little deeper and throatier.
