bad-mab to stock manifold without retune?

Is this alright to do? I'm running a 2.8 and 60's. I'm thinking it will be if I don't beat the **** out of it. I'm sending it back to bad-mab for a replacement because mine is warped.

Will be fine,a header won't make that much of a difference on the tune, especially not the simple ones like that.

email or call them and explain the situation.
say that it is your only car and you need it.
have them put a hold on your credit card for the cost of a new header, ship it to you, install it, and ship your old one back. no down time. no retune. no risk.
they can then release the hold when they get back your core.
companies do this ALL the time.

It's in there head....

Port the exhaust side of the head. That's where a nice difference will show with a free flowing exhaust setup.

I e-mailed bad-mab explaining the situation and that it is my DD. I couldn't find my stock manifold and thought I had gotten rid of it but found it so if they are unwilling to do it I'm just going to ship it back. Bad-Mab has some of the best customer service so I'm hoping they are willing to do this.
