Default long tube headers install done !!

im finally done installing my long tube headers, but there is one thing i wanna make sure of. now all i have is the headerson the car and the o2 sensors on the headers pluged in. and the h pipe is not installed or the 02 sensors in the back, and the car is giving me trouble codes: P0141 02, and P0161, and i replaced the 02 sensors on the headers with these: http://www.americanmuscle.com/ntk-o2-sensor-22060.html
is everything gonna be ok after the shop installs the h pipe and plugs in my rear 02 sensors with my MIL eliminators??

Should be, I think those codes are telling you you're missing the o2 sensors.

Hmmm I'm not sure about that. I'd wait till you get everything on before you jump to conclusions. Do you have a tune for the long tubes

Do you need a tune for longtubes?

You should. Because the o2 sensors are in a different spot, they heat up and cool down faster, so it'll throw the numbers off a little from the stock tune. I've read that can cause cylinder washdown.

Anyone doing what?

Most people on this board get a tune to turn off their CEL, not too many really use MIL eliminators

Custom tune>MIL's

I've also heard that, granted it was from a tuner who might have just wanted business, but for the same price (almost) I'd rather get the tune anyway.
