Default Should I have a tune with my headers?

I'm planning on having Livernois Motorsports put headers on my 05. They already did a tune when they installed my Vararam intake. Should I plan on them re-doing my tune?

the car is extremely flexible to change, and will in most cases run fine without a tune. However in my case the O2 sensors are in a different location, and that alone was enough to throw the fuel mixture very rich. I did nothing more than lean the car back into proper range and everything was fine.

Bottom line, tune is never a bad idea

Tune will definitely need to be adjusted but that should be no issue just let us know when you are planning on doing this!
