Yes, a member here on the forum who is local to me helped with the tune. Runs good but I still get an occasional code, have to go back to the lap top!

Default ARH header question

I did not get a tune and notice a power improvement over stock. A lot of people recommend a tune but my personal opinion is that the stock tune can adjust for the slight airflow difference between stock manifolds and long tube headers.
If you added a cam or ported the heads or both then I would get a tune.
I don't trust mail order tunes every car is different a tune with a chassis dyno is best.
My car has never thrown a code/no service engine light.

Thank you everyone, I've decided to purchase the headers with cats.

I'll post pictures of the install when I get them.
