Without tune

Going to install American racing header and off road pipe in my garage.my question is the tuner shop about 20 miles from my house and want to drive my car there.would it hurt the motor driving it to the shop that far?

I drove my ss for about 2 weeks without a tune after installing long tube headers and 3" back to my npp cans. you will get a delayed response o2 signal code because the they are moved farther down the exhaust but will be fine, run fine just not to its full potential.

Same setup here. Been about 5k miles both track ( 4 events ) and street, no tune and I don't plan on getting a tune.

You guys should all get your Z tuned. There is more power to be picked up with the tune then you will ever get with longtube headers.

There is a way to fix the 02 sensor light, need to get some 02 extenders, that will fix it, no more light, there like $12 a set, and move the sensor out of the flame so they run cooler, that will fix it.

+1. I mainly did the headers for the sound, the power increase was just a bonus. I have no issues with the power output of the car.

my front 02 sensors will occasionally give a slow response code. I may have to replace them. I replaced them after the engine failure.
