will i have to do a retune

hey guys, i have a 05 evo VIII(8), i was wondering if i would have to do a retune if i put headers on it. if there not called headers then the pipe that goes from the motor to the turbo. right now i have a hks silent hi power exhaust, k and n intake/ filter and an hks bov. if i have to do a retune to put headers on, please tell me cause i realy dont want to do one. Thanks

headers=more than one

header=one

Save for cams and a tune, dont waste your time on an exhaust manifold because "it looks cool"

You can have a ported stock manifold that makes more power and more torque than the manifold you are about to put on or thinking of. Best thing is a ported manifold doesn't look modded. And no you do not need a retune.
