ARH HEADERS CHECK ENGINE OR TUNE NEEDED?
Do I have to do a tune if I install the ARH HEADERS? I have heard you will get a check engine light? Any truth in that?

I got an engine light after a few hundred miles. You have two options...
the best idea would be get a tune. or you could get O2 simulators and plug them in, or have a tuner turn them off. |
I had 2 lights in 2 weeks or so after the install. I'd get a tune and shut it down. I know ADM was working with ARH to see if there was something they could do so it wouldn't throw a code without some other modification .. not sure where they are on that.

just have the o2 turned off you don't necessarily need a tune but it is best

Get a tune.
After getting long tubes you have no idea what your A/F ratio looks like. |
I got a light two days after install of ARH headers. Got tuned last week, no lights and drives great. 405 rwhp.

Any long tube system is going to give you a light the cats flow much better than the stockers causing the rear O2's to go nuts. You'll never see the most out any mods without proper tuning |

Thanks fro the answers I have a magnacharger and arh headers coming. I am deciding on the CAI.
You have to send your computer to magnacharger for a tune. The wont tune the arh in california... rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr |

I have LT's and have a light. I want to keep the warranty. I'm not tuning...as of yet. I also am waiting on the guys at Stainless to come up with a check engine light solution. |
Will minor flow increases with Shorty's & CAT back change tolerances enough to throw a check engine indicator?
I'm going to wait a year or so before looking into FI and/or mild cam. Just want to do minor intake and exhaust before major mods. If I don't break anything in the first year or so, then HPtuner, here I come. Providing our local track opens up... |
What about A/F ratio without a tune? will it run lean/rich and will this cause problems?

Here's a quote from Haddad Motorsports: For those of you wondering. You absolutely must get a tune when doing long tube headers. They change the airflow dynamics of the motor enough to warrant a tune. Over the years we have had several customers come through our shop with nothing but headers on there lsx cars, and more than a few have had piston damage due to long term detonation. GM spends a lot of money dialing these cars in. Any mod thats in excess of 10rwhp in gains should be followed with some kind of dyno tune.

I talked to mike for a long time yesterday and he is very nice guy who knows his stuff. Its not that i dont want to tune i just wanted to get a tune from someone who has allready done the same mods. IE: HENNESSEY I dont know of anyone in Fresno, CA. Who does can do a tune.
