As of yesterday, I am running coated Kooks 1-7/8" headers and cats (not the green ones) without a tune. I plan on getting a remote tune done in the next few days but, as of now; no CELs so far. However, based on everything I have read, a CEL is just a matter of time without a tune.

Running headers and cats without a tune will not hurt the car but 1) you won't get the full benefit of better exhaust flow without a tune and 2) you will eventually get a CEL and/or other codes.
