digging up the past i know, but im still toying with buying that el catless header. i realise i wont fully maximize power gains without redyno. but will it be BAD for my engine, throw off the air/fuel etc, if i replace the oe header with a catless el and dont re dyno.

i dont have the ecutek cable, and iirc, the tuner "sealed" my tune on my ecu, so no other tuner could open it and steal his tricks? is that right or am i out of my mind?
