   Breather mods = mods that improve airflow.
   
   Exhaust, manifold, induction, decat, cold air intake, etc.

   You will also need to remap the ecu or other, to use the newly found breathing capabilities properly. It expects lesser airflow than you will be providing

   Untill you get on to cams its not worth the outlay for the gains. The engine isn't going to run lean after those mods, it will just be running closer to 100% VE.

   ECUS are very smart, they adapt to a change in conditions on an engine ,more than you would think

   as said the ecu will make allowances for the changes exhaust and mani plus an induction kit can make....as these will be quite limited in all fairness...when you look at things like cams etc a remap is needed to get full potential

   no need a remap for breathing mods, only if you have cams or throottle boddies.
