Will new headers mess me up??
I just bought some Dynomax longtubes. will I need to get a chip if I install these or will my truck adjust automatically....or doesn't it matter? Any thoughts appreciated. Mike

I do realize that mods will have to be made for the o2 sensor, but my concern is the truck's computer. Will it adjust what it needs to to account for the headers??

Nope, headers wont effect your computer. Any reason why you went with long tube? You do realize that you will have to either fabricate a new Y pipe, or use duals (whichever you had in mind). Newer shorty headers from Bassani and JBA can produce the same kind of power as the long tubes, without all of that fabrication.

Thanks for the info. I got the long tubes because i got a good deal, $45 on-line. I'm in no big hurry to get them on just one of the pieces for the long term. I was thinking of running duals but not sure which route to go. the expensive one or the pain-in-ars one. I'm not a fabricator so i'd have to get someone to do the y. I'm also kinda new at this so not totally sure what my plan is. It'll all come together somewhere down the road. Thanks again. Mike
