Will headers hi flow cats and muffler/resonator delete harm my motor?

Just wondering I might be doing long tube headers hi flow cats and resonator delete soon and I'm wondering if it could harm my motor in anyway possible? Only other mod I would do is CAI

Thanks in advance!

As long as you use quality parts and get a proper tune there is no reason it would harm your engine.

Leave it stock.
Most aftermarket parts make these Camaros louder, faster and cause more tickets.

Absolutely it will cause harm to your motor.....you now with a louder faster car will press the accelerator harder drive faster and flog it harder......LOL And then you feel the need for speed and love the sound of your exhaust and sometimes just want to rev it to hear it...YUP your screwed.............And yes you will need a tune.....

It's a good idea to get a tune but I ran 12.00 @ 115 with headers, no cats, cold air and a under drive pulley and No Tune!
