Hi,

I put a K&N filter in mine and at first it did ping at wot but then after a while (a few more medium length drives) it quit and I concluded that the computer figured it out and did its own tune!

There are others on here that know a lot more than I and will probably chime in.

Cat-backs will have far less of an impact on air/fuel ratios.
