My friend who is a Mechanic for Nissan said anything you change that has to do with the engine needs a new tune! He even said trying to let it reprogram itself isnt the best way, it wont always figure itself out correctly.

I got a Cold air intake and he retuned it. My MPG went up by 3. But then I decided to cut the resonators off. My MPG went down. No joke, I noticed it right away. Went and had him retune the car, and it went right back. I know people say cutting the resonators off should not do anything or need a tune, but I did.
