I get an airaid intake and leave the the insert in, and put a axleback on like a comp magnaflow? Yea I know I won't see anywhere the HP gains as I would with one, I mean it will make a little more power I'm sure with these mods right...
Will I need a tune if....?

I would say no. I didn't when I put a Steeda intake, magnaflow catted x and catback.
Most cars will not need a tune as the insert reduces the intake tube diameter down to stock size so the MAF transfer remains the same. Once you remove the insert, you will need a tune for sure.
you ran a Steeda intake without a tune?
I was wondering the same thing....
Hello eddieveddie85,
You absolutely want to leave the insert In and it will not require any tuning. There is NO advantage to removing the insert unless the car is highly modified ( Cylinder heads, Camshaft, Rear End Gears, or Forced Induction) and constitutes a complete custom tune.
When you are only using basic Bolt-ons, such as Headers, or cat-back exhaust, you always want to leave the insert in.
Running basic bolt-ons and using a "Canned" Tune does not mean you remove the insert. a "Canned" Tune is not a "Custom" tune. they are two different things.
Thanks,
David
Thank you for the info David, It just had me wondering since I had seen some intakes labeled " Tune Required". I just want to mod as much as I can without voiding my warranty.
Another question this might be a dumb one but a "after cat" x-pipe doesn't require any tuning either does it since the cats and resonators stay intact? I just like the sound of an x pipe better.

I'm running the airaid with insert and stainless works catback with no tune. U can run an Aft cat x and not need a tune
Are you pretty satisfied with the results of the intake and axle-back without a tune?
Only ran that way for a couple of months then installed the Whipple and got it tuned.
I have a JLT intake and I've debated about going back stock because I've learned over the years that snorkel fit systems truly breathe as well if not better then aftermarket systems. On this car I'm not sure it will help but every little counts
I bet you see 1/10 better if anything
Yeah I know. Will be on some drag radials this time though.
