Question Cold Air Induction

If you change your cold air induction from the stock one to an aftermarket cai, do you need to have the pcm reprogrammed? How about when you change the headers, exhaust, and so forth? I'm assuming you need to when you do the exhaust, headers and big add-ons. Thanks in advance!!!!!!!

Not for cold air. With headers it's not mandatory, however you may start running rich and want to reprogram to get the most out of it. With head/cam etc, you'll be missing some serious power.
