Have to? No. Would there be gains? Maybe.

If that is in fact the situation, then I don't think a re-tune is a must. Probably only be very minor gains to be had (if any).

This is exactly what I am asking. I already have headers on my car. Thanks

I am thinking about changing out headers for a number of reasons. First and foremost is the lowered price on the QTP headers. They make about 17rwhp more than my SLPs and will tuck up higher. Most likely, if I do purchase them it will be a while before I have them installed. I guess I just like to get a bargin when I see one.

yeah i dont think the qtps would net you a gain of near that much maybe around 5 hp but thats just if the slps really suck that bad
oh and i really wouldnt waste your money on a new tune just from headers it shouldnt change much at all
