Hello i purchased a HPS short ram intake for my 05 si hatch .. i have read conflicting theories. should i be getting a tune if i install this? will engine run rich or anything?

someone told me you need a tune with CAI with these cars not so much SRIS .. can someone clarify for me

Keeping the stock tune isn't going to hurt anything. You may be able to get a little more if you had it tuned but at the cost of Kpro it isn't really worth it.

Ok thank you, I am not concerned with the performance as much as the reliability issue, I don’t want the engine to run rich or lean with a short ram , I plan on keeping this vehicle all I have is an exhaust and short ram

No need for a tune. The car will adapt.

All air flow/exhaust flow modifications are well within the OEM Air fuel sensors ability to tune the fuel.

Since you haven't altered the combustion dynamics
-bore
-stroke
-compression ratio
-ignition timing
-added boost in place of vacuum

There is no reason, not to shoot for stochiometric AF ratios (or there abouts); which the air fuel sensor will do automatically.
