Any engine remapping needed after an X51 header swap?

I wonder if the RSS/IPD Plenum and X-51 are good compliments to each other. It seems to make it flow on the back end is as beneficial as making it flow on the front end. It seems like a great idea from a cost perspective if the X-51 headers are $500 and the RSS is $995.

I don't think so - I added AWE headers to stock cats and PSE mufflers and didn't have any issues.

The Porsche book states header removal and re-install is 1.5 hours, so some of those quotes are alittle much

Ok I made an appointment with lucent for this coming thursday for the header install. I wanted to get a dyno right before but the place I know of is horrible with appointments and are very lazy.
