Default Couple questions on headers.

I'm going to probably order the bbk headers tomorrow, will running the headers with out rear 02s, egr, air pump and cats hurt anything or just set off an ses light and smell bad? Just out of curiousity do the headers really give better gas mileage tried searching but the search was down. And is it going to hurt anything not tuning it for a while? And the last one how loud is the borla going to be with the headers? Thanks guys

It'll throw a SES light for the Rear O2's, get yourself some O2 simulator's or get a shop or mail order tune to get the codes deleted. Car should run fine though, shouldnt hurt anything without having a tune for awhile.

Why do shorties? If your going to an install, might as well go with Long tubes. They have the potential to make more power and the price should be damn close. I dont see the purpose in running shorties unless you live in **** california.
