No tune is necessary until you introduce a 3 stage intake manifold or headers

Things like intakes and exhausts don't need a retune, but they can free up more power. |

So would getting eat aFe stage-2 Si air intake just be a waste of money? They claim for it to add up to 12hp and 15lbs

Intake is a waste, 3 stage and headers are best way to go with AA tune. I added their exhaust and have been happy ever since.

2whp 3whp over a stock box with AFE filter and no carbon filter. A smooth elbow like the rev motoring would probably put them on par. |

I took the carbon filter on this and every N52 that I have. I also have the elbow. The less restriction the better when it comes to intake. The disa valves from the 3 stage create enough turbulence for proper atomization.

The elbow actually has a resonance chamber to control intake noise more than anything. Real OEM calls it a "silencer"

I have the silicone elbow, not the stock one.
