So I installed the headers last weekend and it drove fine this past week, only code I am throwing is a P0137. The car runs great, sound is not as loud as I thought it would be but has a very nice deep rumble. I went from straight pipes with NPP fuse pull to 1 3/4 BBK LT with HF cats. I don't miss the smell of catless. I should be getting my tune by the end of the month.

Noice! So, as someone who runs catless, if you had a strong smell of exhaust in your car even with the windows up I would check your cabin air filter. I could smell mine fairly strong in the car, but once I changed the filter the smell is almost non-existent.

I did the same thing when I put the long tubes on I didn't tune the car for a few months as I knew I was going to cam the car and didn't wanna pay to tune twice. You'll get a few engine lights (o2 slow response codes mostly) which is normal.

Should you? No. Can you? Yes. Keep your foot under control, don't race the thing and you'll be alright until you're tuned.

Got it tuned last Sunday, it is now a totally different car. Phil at Tampa Tuning is a stand up guy. Talked me through every step he was doing. Would definitely recommend him to anyone willing to drive to Tampa.
