6.2L dyno tune needed?

So I've got a 2012 F350 SRW 6.2L I have the AFE CAI and stainless works headers and catback system, ever since the header install I get a CEL for P0133 and P0153 doing some research the mustang guys have similar issues due to needing a tune since the O2 sensor position is changed. With yalls collective knowledge does that sound about right, also happy new year to you all.

if you make changes to the engine and its support systems... you need to change the computer settings as well..

its called a 'system'.. the stock computer WANTS the engine to be STOCK as well... easy.

re-programmer.. ( tuner ).

I assumed as much but is it something I need to take to a dyno and put on the rollers to do it or would email tunes say by 5 star be able to handle that work?

tell mike at 5 start what was done, what exhaust, and what cats you are using, and he can write a tune to turn the CEL off.
he did that for me with my 2014 after the cats went bad and i put a set of high flow cats on.

^^^ what he said.

On another note, can we get a sound clip from the headers? Is this a raptor or super duty?

Dyno Tune Needed?

Cortrox,
If you live near a good tuner, a dyno tune is your best bet. They will know how to deal with the CEL codes. Now, I mean a good tuner.....
People in this section (6.2) seem to like their canned tunes or "hand-helds".
