Tuning
Okay so I've been researching and looking into getting a cold air intake either K&N (with a Dry filter) or the GMPP intake but my question was do I have to get a tune? And what exactly is a tune? Where do I get one done? I'm new to all this computer stuff used to workin on carburetor vehicles lol but any answers will help thank you

You do ? Just wondering because you didn't answer back in the other thread.
Fwiw. Not a whole lot to gain with a cold air intake setup( unless you're going pretty strong with a tune). GM did a really good job with the design of the stock SS air breather assembly.
If you do go with a intake system, they usually seem to trigger a CEL in about half the SS's that use these. Then you'll have to get a tune to keep that CEL from popping up.

The stock HHR SS intake is a cold-air-system.
The K&N improves the stock system, by removing the restriction
of the stock intake 'tube', & the better filter of course...
NO tune needed, + as an added bonus, the K&N system WILL improve
your stock tune, or your GMTU tune...:twothumb
PS, there isn't a GMPP intake for the HHR SS
