Default questions about my header install.

everything has went really smoothly so far, i'm just waiting for my gaskets and then i can finish it up. my question is i haven't been able to find a place to get the rear o2's tuned out, should i just buy the simulators or just drive it till i can find a place to tune it. it is not my dd so it won't be droven much anyway. i'm from 30 min north of lansing so anyone that knows a place to tune it please let me know. thanks for the help.

p.s when i pulled the plugs out i noticed that they were ngk tr6's the car only has 50000 on. i was under the impression that the tr6's were for nitrous or highly modded motors. is that correct. i bought the car as a repariable at auction so i have no idea if it has been modded or not previously.

dont sweat the code being thrown its fine. i did headers a couples months ago and its annoying to look at but i'd rather wait till i get a tune rather than spend 100 bucks on sims, or however much they cost.

yeah i decided to just wait till this fall when i can do a cam and then get a full tune. i finished my header install about 3 today. it made all the cuts and cus words that came from it worth it to hear that sucker start up with open headers and watch it scare the **** of the guys in the shop that dint' know i was about to start it. lol. i got it getin custom dual exhaust dumped before there rear end with single chamber flowmasters. hopefully its still loud. i owe a lot of thanks to everyone on this site for all the great information. it made this install go so easy. i'll post some pictures in the appereance section this next weekd as i just got it repainted and new hood and some new rims. so every keep an eye out for it. thanks everyone for the help.
