Take it to a tuner or plug in one of those chips? I want to get it professionally tuned down the road, (my end goal is camming/headers/intake, etc) but for now just an exhaust, CAI, and new wheels/tires. I don't see a point taking it to a tuner until I start throwing engine mods at it.

Can you link it? Is it safe to do that? I read some threads saying don't use the plugin tuner and some said it was fine. So honestly, I'm not sure. I can't really think of why it would be unsafe but again, I'm not entirely sure.
My main scare is throwing a check engine light because of AFM. I was thinking of getting a cat back.
Thank you all for the responses though I appreciate it! And yeah, the NPP options are very expensive. I do like having that option, just incase.
