Default Tune Do I need one?

I have a 2000 C5 Coupe looking to install a set of Header on the car, no other mods have been done. Do I need to have the car tune after the installation? Thanks in advance for the help....

If you're installing long tubes, you'll get far more benefit from the mod with a good tune. Ask around on the board for a GOOD tuner in your area.

you do if your running no cats with your long tubes,.. however if not then save your money as you will only pick up a few whp where its not worth it. Honestly wait for a tune until you add more bolt ons, theres no sense in wasting money when you can get it all done at once.
