Intake and Exhaust upgrades...ECU & J-tube???

I have purchased an AEM V2 cold air intake and CT engineering headers & down pipe, a Magnaflo hi-flo cat & a Tanabe Medallion cat-back system. With these upgrades do I need to have my ECU flashed or buy a piggy-back system? What's the best option? I don't plan to ever go from NA to boost. Also, do I need to add a j-tube to the catalytic converter? Thanks!!!

no, there is no way to tune our vehicles.
when you add all those things, reset your ECU and it will automatically adjust.

Mmm, not entirely true. I think you can get a piggy back thing or w\e. When you have ALL the bolt ons, then the Blue manage or w\e it's called can help.

^but for the sake of noobiness.....we'll just say there isnt any viable tuning solutions.
Because I can assure you that the OP isnt ready for that yet.
