No, you won't have issues you will just make less power. Do some research, a lot of us run full exhausts with FI and are still getting great numbers.
Thanx for the post , But that was about FI and headers.. Even Stillen on the website says not to run the kit with headers.. Not sure if that was before or after the guy blew his car up after installing headers on his car with the Stillen SC.

That engine still has missing info, from what we know the headers were put on the car but the system was never retuned which will cause problems when adjusting flow like that.
Headers can run with either SC kit, both neither company will guarantee better/equal whp numbers with short or long headers as the kits were never tested with those modifications.

I would also assume ANY exhaust modification would have an impact on boost in the upper RPM ranges, though headers would be more of an impact than anything else.

I am not super technical on boost/FI setups, but I will explain this part the best I can.
With using an open setup like I did, though we still hit 8PSI, you could lose pressure overall but the idea is running the system at a more efficient manner. Meaning you lose pressure but still maintain power, this allows you to push tuning and other aspects of the kit farther hitting the same PSI (8 per the original kit) and increase power at a more efficient rate.

Thats what I read till the thread disappeared, It wasnt you was it, I feel for the guy, There where some other things writen that did not make sense( But we can leave that closed)..
I hear what you are saying about making power, That was always the case with my turbo cars. make the most effecient power you can, Try not to just run high PSI to make power cause at some point you just spinning hot air,
