Default Header install now hesitates on downshift

Have 2010 SS six speed. installed headers with no cats and the rest of exhaust is stock. Every time i downshift and get on it there is a small hesitation before it will get full power. Do i need to have it tuned for the ses light(no cats) for this to stop?

Check if everything is tight. It could be the "feel" of the power that comes on at once now. Or check the TB/sensor.

Mine did the exact same thing (with a JRE tune). I thought it was a tune issue too. Went and had a dyno tune done and now it roars to go when downshifted. Good luck.

Changing the backend changes true VE, your tune has
not kept pace, more air than actual makes you prone
to ping and knock retard, which acts as you describe -
a bog which takes a bit to go away.
