Default new headers

I have a 2003 z and i just got my lg longtubes. I know it is recommended that i get a tune but it will be about a month before i get a chance to, and mine is a DD. Ive got the o2 sims and was wondering if i am gonna have any problems driving without a tune.

I have been working on my tune since before I had the LG headers. I did not change my tune after the headers and am experiencing no problems. Actually, the only issue I have with the headers is that I am running a little rich at idle and I can smell the exhaust if I sit still to long. You shouldn't have any issues running without tuning, you will (of course) find more performance gains from the headers after you tune. I'm sure you'll love the headers!
