Default change headers for equal length is remap needed

Hi I have 2008 sti hatch with loads of mods including a full decat and MD321t turbo running 466bhp. I want to change the headers to an equal length 4:2:1 setup, will I need a remap?

Yes,
May spool earlier and run lean at points.

Just phoned my local mapper and he said it would be fine to fit this and drive it, but i would not get the most from it unless i had it mapped
