Headers

Can someone tell me if I need a tune with short tube headers? Also is it just a direct swap from the factory manifolds to shorties? I know I will realize the best gains from long tubes but I do not want to void my warranty just yet. thanks

I'm trying to buy myself a borla long tube, and a cold air intake, would it be good to do a tune or something?

No you will not need a tune especially if you did not change out your CAT's. If your shorties connected right to the factory CAT's a tune is not necessary unless you receive a CEL.
