Yes
Anything that mucks up the existing AFR
You have put mods on your car that alter the amount of air coming into the engine and the flow of exhaust out. You need to get an ECU remap in order to make the car run safely and to get the most out of those mods

I wouldn't say any of the above will be stressing the engine in anyway....So do not panic..But i would definitely have the fuelling and air mixture checked.

But in order to obtain any benefit from the headers and FMIC i would remap it.
