Default retune for bigger exhaust ?

hey guys quick question. i have a boosted y8 setup and the exhaust on it is pretty small (like 2-25 inch) from the turbo, all the way back. the car runs great but i want to put a 3 inch setup on it. can i do this without having to re-tune the car or will it run lean?
thanks for the help

Since it will flow more air at the same psi (since your setup is now more efficient) you WILL run lean and WILL need to retune.

yes, you will need a retune or a quick street tune. Bottom line you need to get tuned again.

I'd say with a good tune, a fair guess would be 10whp or so. Your top end should be more solid.
