im having the same prob, no amp though but head lights flicker when driving only, ive already changed my tensioner, i just got a new alt, cause they said the stator and diode was bad but i need to charge the batt fully before installing. lemme know if you figure it out.

How long have you had your headers?
and have you had any problems with them rusting or wearing out?
