Chrome headers, stock can?

[pechorin75_imp]

So I've only had my bike for a month and a half, and I'm already getting tired of polishing the headers. It certainly doesn't take long for the bronze color (which I don't mind so much) and the "liver spotting" (which really bugs me) to come back. Unfortunately, it's a pretty visible part of the bike, and I have a hard time "forgetting" and letting it go.

(As an aside, I find it odd that the stainless Akrapovic headers on my ZRX have never significantly discolored or spotted in the 3-4 years I've had them. What would account for the difference? Richer mixture and consequently lower EGT?)

Anyway, I've been thinking about solutions, and came across the TSR chrome headers from Takashi. It looks like a few of you guys have them. My question is this: Since I'd just as soon keep the stock muffler, if I only swapped headers, would I need to get involved with dyno tuning, power commander, etc. just to keep the thing running right?

This is mostly a cosmetic thing for me...so I'd be a little reluctant to go down that road. Actually, I'm a little reluctant anyway due to the pricetag on those headers, but that's another issue...
