Default Will mid-length header make truck run rich/lean?

Will Lapole or Hamm headers make my truck run too lean or rich? I thought I seen something about that when somebody installed a pair of AS&Ms. Just wondering about mid-lengths considering I have a GMS MAF sensor.

If anything, it would be a little on the rich side.

Would it run rich without the GMS MAF?

I think the GMAF will lean you out.

I would think the two would work wellwith each other. I have heard of the gmaf making a motor run to lean at times, so I would think they would counter the two together
