Anyway be very carefull getting these out. Get some PB Blaster and soak the hell out of them. After a half turn if it gets any tensions then stop and soak again. It will save you about $700 bucks!!!

I feel your pain brother! I soak them and then work them back and forth about a quarter turn at a time. Sometimes they come out very easily. Other times I have to be patient with them. In the end though I have never had to replace a set to date!

On a brighter note, I am glad you are enjoying the headers. Do not hesitate to call me if you need anything...

Thanks, Tony

Hahaha.

They are not that bad to build. Just very time consuming. Alot of steps in the build process.

I hope to never have to stop the production process!!!

Just out of curiosity... Is there a reason F.I. decided to not use the Hemholz resonators or have blued tips... ??

You know the answer to that Chris. You have been in my shop and we have talked in person.

So does that mean it's a secret?

Has anyone experienced any excess noise since installing the headers. Seems to me that there is alot more noise coming from the engine compartment. Thinking I should install new header gaskets but just wanted to get an opinion. Yes the car is louder without cats but the noise I am trying to explain seems to be like an exhaust leak or somewhat. The factory gaskets were reused and were not damaged during the installation. I followed the instructions during install as well. (Torque bolts from center to out).

I haven't noticed any excess noise? When are you hearing this noise? At starting, idle, acceleration, cruising, or deceleration?

You're not talking about the famous hiss, are you? Because that's normal.

nah the hiss is mostly when you let go of the throttle this is a noise that kinda sounds like water or something like that, its hard to describe it.

Rooskey 02-07-2011 01:11 PM

I only hear the noise at idle when im standing outside of the car. I can hear it from about ten foot away also. Kinda like a loud exhaust leak. The headers have only been on for about 100 miles so I will most likely retorque the bolts this week just to be sure.
