Well I finally got done installing my headers and im really happy, however I took it around the block (theyre open right now) and she seemed to accelerate slower, and when I did not give too much gas kinda almost die on me but wouldnt, after I weld my catback back on would this fix it, or is it something else? I unplugged 2 spark plugs one on each side to get the damn things in and just screwed em back in after it was done, mix and matched the distributor wires on all the spark plugs as well that shouldnt matter tho or is every wire from the distributor supposed 2 go to a specific spark plug? Thanks 4 any help guys.

 

HAHA are you serious?

 

No i know the fireing order 18436572 im just sayin what could make my **** seem slower?

 

AHHH I see, well didja put the O2 sensor back in? I think even with the O2 sensor in the headers, it may not read correctly because of the difference in operating temps between manifolds and headers, but I cant verify that.

 

Ya i put that crap back in, on the passenger side head when I was taking the manifolds off I broke off the lil heat thing that u can unscrew and coolant flows out, thats all I can think of, imma bolt the rest of my exaust back on and see if that does the trick, need some back pressure put into test

 

congrats on the install. headers can be a pain. when my exhaust broke off in the middle i felt a power loss. then i went back to the shop so they can clamp the exhaust back together i got my power back. i think u need some backpressure.

maybe i said it wrong i think u need ur catback on.

 

thx guys imma throw it back on this friday hopefully ill let ya know what happens.

 

I just dropped on the same header's. Big pain in the ***, but very good result's in the end!! At first I did not weld them at the cat's and they were leaking, it felt quiker after they were welded!!

 

i looked all over jegs and summit and i couldent fing any backpressure for sale?.......... does it come in a kit?
hahahaha just kidding :sillylol: :sillylol:

 

K guys i miss matched 2 distributor wires so I guess that might be the problem, still gettin rest of exaust on anybody know what damage I coulda caused by doing that?
