i changed my exhaust to true duals with an h pipe and never threw a code so i dont think long tube headers will throw a code or require a dyno tune
im not sure about the starter though

was just wondering. will I get a noticable increase in power with the long tubes over the shorties? or will It be about the same. cause I'm just trying to decide now rather I want to get the long tube headers that I found or just go with the shorty headers.

you want a tune with longtubes because it messes with your AFR

and longtubes do gain performance shorties are just like stock exhaust because they have the same scavenging effect as stock.

so would my car have to be present to write the tune or could I just tell them the size of the headers. cause I already have a predator I would just have to load the tune on to it.
