the answer for intake is, as long as you have an intake with some kind of heatshield you'll be fine without a tune. Testpipes, downpipes requires a tune

You ARE going to require a tune. This has nothing to do with a heatshield and everything to do with more air being drawn in and not enough fuel. More than likely you're going to throw a P0171 SYSTEM TOO LEAN code.

As per your intake question, any "power gain" mod is beneficial when accompanied with a tune. Is it dangerous? My opinion is no. The post before me is correct, however the Evo x runs rich from factory so the extra air coming in might actually balance it out, not accurately, but still...
