Default BBK Header question

i have a set of shorty unequel length headers to put on my car, my question is what are my chances of getting a check engine light on? The headers came with the bung for the EGR to be re hooked up, and a new tube for the EGR to fit around the headers. I have inspection coming up soon and dont wanna get a check engine light on, but at the same time only have access to the car lift on a certain date. Any input will be appriciated, thanks.

No chance as long as the EGR return line was reinstalled properly.

just install it all properly so no exhaust leaks exist and the check engine light will remain off

If your concerned about the inspection, wait to install the headers until after you inspection...otherwise, you should not have any problems...
