Going from HKS Hi Power to GTM 3", what to expect?

Quick question: I'm prepping for my stage 2 GTM TT kit that I'll be ordering in the coming months and thinking I should ditch the HKS for a 3" GTM

I just got tuned two weeks ago, would it require a retune and how much power do you suppose I would lose?

I'd wait until you order the TT kit. You will need a retune if you hope to minimize power loss but will likely still lose a bit even with the tune. Its just too free flowing for a NA Z. I'm certainly not an expert so this is more of an educated guess.

Tune won't really change much since it is on the tail end (literally). You'll lose some torque until you go FI.

^That's correct, you will lose some torque but likely won't lose much horsepower. I too would wait for your FI installation.
