Sadly, there just aren't any shortcuts. Cars are electronically controlled these days, and that requires you to update the electronics when you update the hardware.
Right


So, all headers will throw a CEL. Headers DO NOT void your warranty, they only void your warranty on the part you replace (and who cares about the warranty on the stock manifolds sitting in a scrap yard, they arent on the car anymore). And a warranty wont cover damage caused by an aftermarket part.

So if in some impossible way, your headers damaged something, then a warranty wont cover the damage. Only damage ive heard of is certain people blame header heat killed their starter. Or headers melting plug wires.
