Default Running headers and duals without tune.

Got started on putting headers on my Trans Am today, hopefully will finish tomorrow. I just wanted to make sure that the car will run good with just the front o2's hooked up, I will be getting the rear's tuned out within a week or two but in the mean time all should be good right?

it will run fine, the rear O2's just monitor the cat efficiency.

Just took her around the block with open headers, probably scared 4 old lady's and a few kids on skateboards, but other than that all was good. It did backfire a little while coming a stop, but other than that no driveability issues. Thanks for the input guys.
