You're going to get the fun of that first time tuned feeling.... So there is a payoff!

BigMac is absolutly correct that LMS updated their DP using magnaflow cats,same as PPE,I think PPE and ECO POWERPARTS should of had their pat pending regarding their cats,as for SW DP i got a po42o and po422 dtc codes,after install due to low quality cats,they invested more money on the sig logo stamped SW on the DP which looks cool,today is day 3,no tune,no dtc codes with PPE,the diffence of all the DP from PPE,LMS.SW is which one will set off a code with a stock tune,and clearly PPE is on top,GO ECO POWER PARTS AND SUPPRT THE FORUM.

I've been running the PPE catted pipes for over a year (15K miles) without a code even in the stock tune, and love em. Good fit and finish.
The exhaust tone does change and get a little louder with the stock tune.

Interesting that Livernois doesn't feel you need a tune with catted downpipes. Our cars are not susceptible to boost creep?

I run PPE catted downpipes and LMS did adjust the tune for them.  This is an optimization move to take advantage of the earlier turbo spooling.  With non-catted DPs the change other than this is to turn off the last O2sensor as all tuners do to avoid a CEL.

I rans the stock for about 1000-1200 miles without problems.  The tune/tune adjustment is not necessary.... But improves power.

Its interesting about LMS updating their DPs with new cats. I wonder when they did this because their site still says;

Note; All high flow down pipes require tuning [the MyCal tuners work best!] and are not EPA approved and as such they are for off road use only.

Yes you need a tune because you need to delete the rear o2 sensors in the catless pipes. If not you'll throw a CEL
