C-5 Exhaust

I thought I read somewhere that installing an after market exhaust such as Borla or Corsa can have a tendency to cause fits with the car's computer. Just the catbacks - not any crossover or headers. Something about back pressure I think.

I'm not a mechanic. Anyone have any experince that validates this?

Thanks!

Not me. Your computer will learn the improved airflow you'll get with the cat backs. My B&B PRT's really improved my performance!
