Default Do I need a tune with an axle back muffler on an is 200t?

Hey guys new member here! I recently picked up a 2016 is 200t and it is a little too quiet... I just want a little more exhaust sound. Will i need a tune with an axle back muffler set up? Thanks in advance!

Welcome to the forum!

For just an axleback the ECU will be fine as is.
Realistically it won't know it's there and there isn't much performance gain, if any.
If you plan to do a full exhaust and intake, then yes, time for a tune.

Thanks, I was thinking that too. Never owned a turbo vehicle before and wanted to be sure.

You will not.
