Hi, noob question
I just wanted to know if I need an ECU tuning if I install an exhaust and short ram intake. I don't need a tuning, right?

Depends on the intake and what "an exhaust" consists of.

I've read NO and YES. All cars are different IMO. Some can get away with it and others may not. I think with these mods it comes down to peace of mind.

Simple answer is no you dont, but will you be gaining anything(other than sound) from them w/o a tune? probably not

You don't need anything. Enjoy.
