Default exhaust question

I might be able to get my car to a friends garage today , and was wondering if I change the mufflers and x pipe will I need to do anything to the chip etc ? codes ? I finally got my SW X-pipe and mufflers ceramic coated . I sold an old engine I had laying around now have the $ to install.
Oh and my old 87 vette when I changed the mufflers and act. it started popping out the exhaust when I let off the gas , I dont want that again.

you may have some popping out of the exhaust but you can have mark haibeck tune that out for you.

Just about...make that ANY... changes to ingress or egress of air would benefit from tuning - not only to maximize the potential, but to avoid things like "popping", etc.

Marc Haibeck can provide you with a generic calibration, based on experience with various mods and requirements, including the popping.

Remember too that popping indicates there is unburned fuel in the exhaust stream. Too much popping means you're running rich. Running too rich for too long a time can cause CAT damage. CATs are not cheap but a nicely tuned chip is

i talked with marc about that, you can run either without a tune if you have/want to. it won't really hurt anything
