I had a quick question. I have already put on my AFE stage II intake, and I just got my 4" turbo back exhaust. Is is going to harm the motor if I put on the exhaust and do not have a tune to go with it?

Lots of people have aftermarket exhaust with no tunes. You'll be fine. General opinion is you need to open the intake and exhaust before tunes anyway.

You dont need tunes for exhaust or intake. Those just allow the engine to breathe. They don't change the way the motor fuels or anything that tunes will change.

No, an exhaust will not harm your engine. If anything it will help with EGTs. Diesels are completely different.
