Why does the CEL stress you that much? I thought the CEL appears only because of the modified exhaust gases. Are there any technical difficulties at all ?

KMPrenger · 08-25-2010, 04:40 PM

Not all headers are causing CELs....some JBAs, and so far no DT shorties have caused a CEL.

I don't think anyone has said it yet but GET A TUNE!

[QUOTE=CamaroFreako;2260362]Yes yes, everybody saying get a tune.

but i don't want to void the warranty if anyone understand that (no. the stupid headers didnt void

your answer without a tune is to take the headers off.you must do a tune with long tube headers.you could put shorties on and be ok.but you won't gain much power.

a tune voiding the warranty is a never ending debate....

fact is get the trifecta tune, so if you ever need warranty work, you can revert it back to stock... tune voiding warranty problem solved

I HEAR YA MAN. BUT WHEN I PUT MY HEADERS THE DEALER SAID IT DID VOID THE WARRANTY.

SO I ADDED EXHAUST/SUPERCHARGER/METH/FUEL BOOSTER/225 EXTRA PONIES UNDER THE HOOD. I'M STILL GRINNEN.

Flashing back means nothing, every flash is seen by GM ,even stored codes that are cleared are seen, if the obd is accessed at all it can be seen.

There is a lengthy thread about this here on the forum....basicly if there is a problem with the car and it has been flashed........

I would love a tune , and a cam.........in a couple years maybe.

Yeah... if you didnt want to get a tune... you know what you should have done? Don't buy the headers. Like seriously... I hope you did your research... because sounds to me like you just commited to a woman who has a hot body (the performance gain) but she keeps nagging at you (the CEL). You got to think/research before you commit to anything dude.
