Default xpipe question

2013 Mustang gt premium.

Just bought
magnaflow competition catback 15150
magnaflow offroad xpipe 16400

is it possible to install the offroad xpipe for a week before getting it tuned or could it cause damage to the engine.

Only thing i read about was the CEL code would pop up for a cat overheat which would in turn cause more fuel to be dumped to compensate. is that correct?

Im a bit impacient as you can see but not stupid enough to mess something up ......if it could cause dmg let me know please!!!

I dont know too much about a cat overheating... but if you throw on some mil eliminators at the time of installation it would shut off the code. I would just wait until you can tune it at the same time, but if you cant wait i dont think any damage will be done, youll just have to see the code im guessing

i actually looked around for those MIL eliminators but couldnt find any for my car. I think that was only for the 99-04. Do you know where to find them?

not sure honestly, try a google search. but i forgot to mention i know in some cases those mil eliminators will not work (rare but it happens). You'll probably be better with a bama tune, because that is gauranteed to work and you can program the computer at the same time and get a little better performance out of it. might be your best bet.
