Default Air/Fuel after headers????***

Hey guys,
I am wondering after you do your header install, what does the car normally run rich or lean? Or if headers even make a difference?
thx rob

My car was running real rich after the install, especially at WOT I was at around 12.2 - 12.4, if you want to do it right just get it tuned.
