Default Header Install Question

I was just wondering if when you put an ORY on the car what you have to do to correct the removal of the cats? Do you just get this edited out by a tune and also do i need 02 sims or can i just have these edited as well. Not sure since i was originally going with a catted y but since my car is not a daily driver anymore i want the extra horsepower and i want to know exactly what i need to buy.

Tuning is probably cheaper. Plus if your getting rid of A.I.R. and/or E.G.R. your still gonna get the SES codes for them being gone. Also Catalytic Overtemp protection can only be deleted from a tune, some people dont have a problem with COT, I did, car got horrible mileage, and after tune its a lot better, but I know others who didnt delete it and had no change in MPG. Guess it just depends. But I paid a sponsor $60 for the tuning, O2 sims would be more.

Tuning usually is cheaper. Had my O2 codes removed for $50. O2 sims are more than new, at least new.
