When you put headers you must tune the car.

When installing headers, there is no need to tune the car, but that doesn't mean you can't. To get the most power out of any mod, you can tune it. If you are not running cats, you might have to make an adjustment with a tune, so that you don't get a CEL. If you are running cats, you shouldn't have an issue.

You will need to tune the car if you install headers, especially if you have a setup similar to mine.

Roto-fab with K&N Filter
American Racing Headers
American Racing High Flow Cats
Corsa Performance Exhaust

From what my understanding is that the COPO Camaro and the Challenger Drag Pack ship with American Racing headers, so I decided that was a safe bet, it sounds like a Formula 1 car after I had it tuned.

Just go with any header, no cats, and no muffler if you want to be heard and emissions are not an issue.
