Would it matter if I changed the intake after I did the tune?

longer the intake is better for low end and mid

4-2-1 header for low end and mid

4-1 header for up top


thats the general rule.

i have a simple intake setup... just put a k&n filter on the stock throttle body and bang you have the shortest intake possible.
