Default Tuning for open downpipe...??

i plan to get all my turbo stuff put on but my downpipe is gonna be nowhere near my exhaust so i plan to just take the catback off and go to the tuner with an open downpipe. my question is that if i get my car tuned for open downpipe, and then go home and put on a 3 inch exhaust, will i run into any kind of problems? thanks for all help

Always. the problems come in when you get tuned With exhuast, then take it off for open downpipe...lean.

When i went from Tuned Open to exhuast. I couldn't tell a horsepower lose. Actually the low end response was alot better and wasn't so laggy. alot Quiter bTW

you shouldn't have any problems.... but the tune will not be perfect. YOU WILL BE RUNNING RICH. why not just get the exhaust first and do it right?
