Tuning question

If I wanted to get a n1 invidia cat back would I need a tune? or is that just when you do the full exhaust?

Thanks

Cat back is fine without a tune. You only need to worry when it's a full turbo back.

Run far away from that exhaust then. If there is any droning from the exhaust, it's a million times worse in a hatch than a sedan because the sound resonates in the interior of the car. Exhausts that don't drone on sedans often do in hatches. N1 exhausts are the single worst exhausts when it comes to cruising drone, which is part of why they are also the single most often found for sale used in classifieds.
