Default Headers

I am looking at putting on a full set of headers to go with the borla cat-back system I already have on...
My question is... what or how will I have to change on the computer to accept the change, or does the computer adjust automatically???
Thanks....

To answer your question, the computer should adjust automatically... recognizing your new headers and the new exhaust temps and flow rates, and will dumb it down back to stock results, cancelling your mod.

I would skip the headers and get the Superchips Flashpaq. Much more performance to be gained from that than from headers.

the stock manifold is high flow and is so close to a header its not worth it. headers do make a big difference on certain vehicles as most manifolds are congested. not the case with the JK

If you are going to be adding a computer chip like a superchip they recommend not adding a headers due to making the computer not read accurate data. Meaning you will ruin the motor. I know from experience from a friends car. He called supership because thats what was installed and they told him NO headers for there chips.
