I found a 2004 Cobra that I want to buy it has 28k miles on it the only mods are a CAI and exhaust. Buying it from the second owner it has been adult owned and driven my concern is that it was never tuned after these two mods.Could I have any issues if it was tuned after these mods?

You can have it tuned but if it were me I would put a BF 2.76 on it 1st and make paying for dyno tune session worth it.

Thanks for the feedback do you think any damage could have been done by not having it tuned since they put on a CAI and exhaust ?

No. Those two mods wouldn't cause the afr to go whack to a point where it would be a concern to have to dyno tune it. Factory cars tend to be on the richer side anyway so if anything an intake and exhaust will just optimize a factory tune more efficiently.

Just wait until you pulley it before you have someone tune it.
