2016 Yukon Denali Bolt-On Performance

[crazydirthead]

So I'm wanting to do some bolt-ons to my denali and see if I can't open her up a little bit. What I'm looking at is an Airaid Intake, American Racing Headers and a Borla Touring Exhaust. I know a tune can do a lot, but I was thinking if I don't tune it, then if there was a warranty issue I could bolt-off and put the stock parts back on to bring it in for warranty. Could I do the rest of this without a tune? I know they can be a huge improvement, but I'm just on the fence with the warranty deal. Whats your experience with this and what have you guys done?

I am interested in some responses to the same questions

You don't want to do headers without a tune. I've had a lot of Corvettes and did a crap load of mods to them. If you do headers without a tune it is going to reek havoc with your air/fuel curve. For the most part you'll lose a lot of back-pressure and your low-end will feel like a dog. You'll need to tune it if you do that.

Stick to a cat back and intake kit if you're worried about the warranty... GM nowadays will flag you for anything petty.

Once you hit 60k get headers and a tune and enjoy it even more.
