Need a second Tune

I'm thinking of adding a 2.5 inch ZZP DP with no cat attached to a stock GM performance Catback.
I had a tune done a couple of years ago when I added the header and GM Catback, will I need a second Tune because of the DP.
Also, will it be louder with no Cat.

Thanks guys

With the lowered back pressure from running without a cat into a low restriction exhaust, you may need to have it retuned. It all depends on how the current tune will respond to the loss of back pressure.

Will it be louder, probably not much.

I was thinking of the same, it might be best to leave everything as is and not get a DP

Just wondering if I would need a second tune if I get a 2.5 DP installed concidering that I already have the header and GM performance catback.
Also, will it be louder then it is now, will it burn more gas, and will I get the extra 15 HP that ZZP says I will.

You don't need a tune for it other than turning off the CEL if it pops on. If you have a Trifecta tune you can turn off the CEL yourself in EZFlash
