Default header install

Hey I got obx header with y pipe (fake cat) 2 days ago. I was going to install it tomorrow. Also I already called Allen Nelson to retune my pcm for my header adjust emission and cover 02 sensors... But The pcm is ship out today wont arrive UNTIl next Tuesday. I wonder if I can ahead put header on it and drive till pcm come in I can swap the pcm. Or I should wait? It will come light on if I drive with no swap pcm? I want to do things safe before I ahead install. Ill take all pictures when Im done and show yall if you like to.

You will be fine with the install and no retune for the moment! The retune in on tuesday is no problem...the truck will still run fine for the moment. You'll be amazed how easy the install goes!

I did my 6.0L swap and header swap all together. Amazingly enough, I drove the truck home without any changes to the tune and never threw a single light. I had the OBX's as well even. You'll be just fine

I didn't have a retune for my headers for about a week too and it ran just fine. You can go ahead and slap those babies on
