40k miles on my FI TP/CBE set up and not one issue ever nor a CEL. most CEL's come from incorrect installation where the O2 sensors get beat aroudn or wires stretched then the CEL comes up.

So essentially if I get the system installed at the stealership I should be fine? If I did the installation at home.. And went to tune would that help? Trying to save on cost of possible. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Best advice I can give you is to check the local section here and find some people in LA or wherever it is you live. Being in SoCal, you'll have no short of Z groups to find. Check out some local meets and get a feel for the sounds of the exhaust. You can also find help with installs and pick other people's brains on certain things.

installation is pretty simple aside from the dreaded nissan demon bolt. if you add full exhaust and intakes a tune is a big help. it not only maximizes the power but typically those mods together tend to lean out the fuel mixture and could possibly cause an issue.
