well i'm not a mechanic or anything but one of my dad's best friends races for a living and when i told him i was getting a CAI he told me to be sure and get a tuner because some bad things can happen if you don't tune for the extra ammount of air coming in. He said he didn't tune his 06 Nissan Skyline and one of the O rings around the piston broke to pieces because of the extra combustion so just a warning...

This is not a Skyline, this is a Mustang.......

No tune needed, just disconnect your battery when you do the CAI.......

I agree. No tune needed. They are pretty basic mods.
