Just bought some BBK chrome shortys from a member here simply because it was such a good deal. Im wondering if i must get a tune when i install them or if i can do without. If i do need one it can be a canned tune correct? I dont have alot of spare cash for a tuner at the moment but i couldnt pass up brand new shortys for $80 shipped.

Also do i have to have o2 extension or are the simply recommended?

 

With shorty headers, you wont need a new tune or 02 extensions. Only one 02 sensor is mounted in the stock exhaust manifolds and in the shorty headers, it is located in the exact same location.

 

No tune,you got a good deal on those headers,enjoy

 

Sweet, i suppose i can install them soon and worry about CAI and a tuner later.
Do you guys think i will notice much of a difference without tuning? Im keeping my eye out for a tuner that i can afford.

 

Shorties provide minimal gain. You may not feel it on the butt dyno, however some do. With or without the shorties, a tune will feel awesome. The shorties don't do anything more with a tune. But every pony counts. Nice deal.
