I don't think you will have to make any tuning changes. I run straight stacks on my old F-2 with headers. I like the way it runs and sounds...slim

ditto on that. I love the way my truck sounds with straight pipes. It does get rather loud when pulling something, but im not old enough to put mufflers on it yet
