Correct....Installing the complete header pkg will cause you to move the location of your Catalytic Converters (Cats). This will typically cause a "Check Engine" type of light to show up in. You'll need to have the car tuned to have the error message removed. While you're having it tuned they can tweak things like the fuel and timing. If you have an Auto they can then remove your AFM and usually change things up in Trans to make it shift better and remove torque mgmt. If you have a manual trans you can have the same type of tweaks and have them remove things like the Skip Shift. I would recommend you find a local speed shop that has experience doing this kind of stuff because technically tuning your car can cause GM to void your warranty. If someone doesn't do it correclty and screws something up....you take it back for warranty work it might come out of your pocket to fix. Also, be prepared to pay somewhere in the $350-$500 for a professional tune.

BTW: Headers with the LMI will probably be to loud. You should look at using their 3" system with the Pro Flow axle back. Without headers LMI will be fine but you'll be paying about $400 for something you can probably get done at a local muffler shop for under $100.

I ask the dealer what will happen with the warranty if I put the Package on. He told me that the warranty will not get effected. I will still have the same warranty as before for the car.

I don´t have a muffler or a speed shop arround. I ask the Chevrolet dealer how much he will charge me to install the Package. He told me around 250 USD.
