They are insisting that you are losing low down torque due to the loss of back pressure from having no restrictions, such as cats, and a larger pipe diameter, which would increase flow. A tune would correct the A/F and bring some of that lost power back.

As for consequences, if you were really lean it could cause detonation and damage your engine. I doubt that's happening though. The ECU will compensate as much as it can.
