nice shots looks real good!
do you have the MSDS headers?? how was the install? any CEL??
seriously thinking of getting headers over the winter
i actually did a writeup on a diff thread, so just copied and paste it here, mite as well.
I think this is the solution peter.
solutions over the past 2 weeks... and alot of money and ecu resetting later
(start off with just header - running really rough with no cat)
a- put back the high flow cat - got more back pressure, better idle)
b- tried the vibrant 02 bung - no luck, ran slightly quieter, and wrapped the baffle in titanium wrap, makes the car alot quieter and makes it sound not like a riced civic<--- which it did for quite a while.
c- jimmy put in a piece of cat inside the tube, ran slightly better, sealed the exhaust with exhaust cement, helped a little.
d- put on the end of the bung spark plug fowler drilled out, little to no difference
e- totally relocated both sensors, again one behind the cat for change in ecu reading, and the other on the lowest opening in the header so that it could read the exhaust from all four cylinders. changed the gasket to wider and thicker one provided by aph. plugged rest of holes
final solution that worked for me- (wrapped baffel x2 wraps titanium wrap, relocated 02 sensors (aph), sealed exhaust and used bigger gasket. <--- seems so simple now, but finding wut worked the best.. omg! lol
overall- save someone alot of time,effort and money, lolz. If you buy this header, be prepared for some one on one time with your car, but the results at the end are worth it.
p.s. the car ran so rough at the beginning, I was planning on selling the thing right after i had it installed!
big thanks to Nextmod and APH crew, Jimmy at Street Performance, and suggestions from other tm3 members.
I thnk nextmod had them on sale too a couple months back. not sure now. hope that helps, and ask any further questions if you have them. o, and u also mite want to get an engine mount if your gonna fully bolt ur car, just incase.
