Maybe you can shed some light on this question as well. Why are people on here like, "Oh you have CBE and CAI? Go tune it bro." Can these car's ECUs not adapt to simple mods such as these without the help of a tune? Maybe I just need to get used to the atmosphere here, haha.

Thanks for the links by the way!
While that may be right on a car that runs closed loop 100% of the time (like the new Bimmers) it is not true on a car such as ours. The car makes educated "guesses" so to speak on how much fuel to run based only on the air it sees going into the engine. Change something about how the air flows and you essentially mess up the factory algorithm that determines how much fuel to inject. Also its well known that the factory tune has room for improvement itself.
