Header Install SES Light

So should i get a tune to get rid of the light (i know im going to be doing mods down the line that will need a tune) and o2 sims are a bit too pricey. How much does it cost to just get the codes tuned out?

did you break one of the O2 sensors or did you forget to plug something in?

yes, I would would a tune done, If you think 02 simms are pricey,you will be paying more for a tune.

I have a pair simms for sale for 40 bucks if ya want them.

Sims are a good quick fix if you need to go through inspection but you'll need the tune eventually and can get it tuned out at that point. Did you go with emission's headers or race headers with no AIR or EGR?
