Default Exhaust help

Whats up everyone I have a few questions. I hoping you guys could help me out. Right know I have the SLP loudmouth catback along with the other mods listed in my sig but the question is I want longtube headers and a x-pipe. I was going to go SLP all the way, but I have come across a pretty good deal on a 3 month old set of MAC ceramic coated not the hts coated longtubes, and the off-road prochamber. The guy will also include the o2 extensions. My question is other than the mil eliminators, because of the off road prochamber, what else would I need to complete the install? Will my car run ok the guy mentioned that it could lean out the car with a full exhaust, and i should consider a dyno tune, is this true? All help would be great.

Thanks,
Jason

So I should be ok to drive around for a while until I can afford a tune? Also will a handheld tuner like the X-cal2 or predator get the job done or is a dyno tune the only way? Thanks alot for answering all my questions guys. The help is appreciated.

A hand held tune might do the job , but theres nothing better than strapping down the car to a dyno and working from there..
