No tune needed, you'll be fine with just the headers on a stock tune.

No tune is necessary, but if that is the only mod you ever plan to do, then why not get it tuned for optimal performance?

Regardless, it will run

I have headers. At one point I was on a stock tune. You will be fine.

Or a better idea....there are threads on this forum that I'd be willing to bet you could figure out they ran fine with just headers

Just common knowledge... you dont need to tune for headers or plog/downpipe. Just like you dont need to tune for an intake or hv3.. will you benefit from a tune? Sure. Is it required? No.

You going to keep your EGR and Cat Converter?

If so, then it souldnt need anything.

Yeah, If you dont want your check engine light on all the time and dont have a tuner/tune.

I ran on a rockered 3.4 setup on a stock tune for a while. It was ok but just throwing a canned tune at it helped a lot.
