buying a car with headers intake, but no tune?

Whats up guys. Have been out the 6th gen camaro game for around 2 years. Previously had 17 1ss and a c6 z06, but sold that 5 months ago and now came across a 2018 zl1 that caught my eye.


Anyways, the car I am looking at currently has 1,980 miles. Tag expire Nov 2022. Only thing that concerns me is that he is running longtube headers, borla atak catback, and it does not have a tune. He sends me videos and the car does not have a CEL. My 2 previous cars were modded, and was always advised to tune them when running long tube headers. He says he doesnt need a tune and didnt want to mess with the ecu which concerns me, but I understand his point of view.



What you guys think? If I buy it should I get it tuned right away, or can I get away by daily driving it around 1-2 weeks with no tune with headers on. Car is always garaged and hardly drives it he says. Will really appreciate your guys advice.



One last question, if the car is 2018, wiil I still need to smog it to do a title transfer to my name? Or can I just register it under my name with no smog since car not older than 7 years old. I am in california. THANK YOU ALL
