Going catless downpipes do you need new plugs gapped differently?

Any other car I ran catless on I simply tuned right after and was good to go . I ran into a video where someone stated you needed to get new plugs and gap them differently. Wanted to check here if that was true as I know a bunch of you are running catless and tuned . Current mods RK front mount intakes and charge pipes . Bootmod3 license and tune ready but not flashed until I go catless and do my exhaust . Thanks in advance

If you run an actual stage 2 file, you should get one step colder plugs and gap them properly. If you intend on running a stage 1 file and just have the CEL coded off to run catless DP's, then you don't need new plugs. With that being said, I would suggest that you don't skip out on the "non fun"/support-mods when starting to add power to these cars. You'll thank yourself later.

Since it’s my daily driver I plan on at the very most running stage 2 93 octane. Won’t be going past that power wise . What non fun mods would you suggest ?

Then I’d say get the proper plugs and gap them. I was referring to the upgraded plugs when I said non fun mods. Basically, things that don’t bring visual improvements or increase power/tq to the car, but should be done to make sure the car performs optimally.

I’ve tried to use the search function here but haven’t found exactly what I’m looking for . Do you recall any threads with the exact plug info ?

Here ya go! https://www.ecstuning.com/b-ngk-part...f-8/97506s8kt/
I'm not sure what bootmod would suggest for GAP, each tuner is different. For reference, my gaps are .019. My guess is that they'll tell you to run .020-.022
