That is what I have been thinking about getting. I am just hesitant getting anything that will require me having to remap or retune anything..

To reduce heat, you have one choice:
decatted headers (and a tune).
There is no other way. Those fan coolers move the air-but the heat YOU experience is from the cat.
I am putting on decatted pipes this winter. I also have a tuner-and will tune it accordingly. Honestly, cant wait.
