X-pipe and secondary cat delete without tune

Is it safe to run x-pipe and secondary cat delete without a tune? I 'm only doing these mods because I want the sound, I'm not planning to ever tune the car as I'm not trying to gap Bugattis.

I'm mostly worried about boost creep and the car running lean.

yea no issues no lights. The secondary cat is there to make up for the high flow stock cats for emissions

No check engine light with either upgrade

I'm more worried about potential boost creep that could cause other problems that might not trigger a CEL because of a lack of a custom tune. Is that going to be an issue?

I have not seen this issue ever been reported.

Since you are in Europe, make sure that your car doesn’t have OPF on the secondary.
If you have it, then it will trigger CEL.
Some EU cars OPF are on the midpipe too.
So, you’ll need to do your homework on that.

My car is a late 2018 Comp with OPF, and I already have an Eisenmann mid-pipe with OPF delete modules from Leib installed. It has worked fine so far, and I know the Leib mobules are doing their job as I originally had defective modules installed which triggered CELs every time I did a full kickdown.

As I already have OPF delete modules installed, a secondary cat delete should probabvly just be plug and play, right?

In that case, yes, it will be plug and play.
