Thumbs up alphawerks headers installed!!!!

I got 'em installed. They are doing good, however, there is a little resonance that I think is normal. 3rd gear really pulls now I went to the track 2 days ago, did 15.3 (second time ever in my life), so I consider it pretty good. I'm going back tomorrow to see the difference. Obviously, the temperature may be different than what it was 2 days ago, but who cares I can't wait...

I for 14.6 - 14.7. I'll put my 17 stock rims on the front and drop the tire pressure to 21 psi and heat up the tires a little more than last time. That should help

You got 3 days for the ECU to reset itself.

Glad to hear you're liking 'em. i'm in the market for them @ the end of October as well I believe..

Hey Berny, what exactly does resonance sound like?

with headers and cai, you should run 14.6... but when you're not used to the track (like me), its pretty hard.

I got the ct icebox. I just received my UR crank pulley (to be installed in 3 days)... and gonna get the ct b-pipe to let off a little more restriction

ok ok ok this resonance: Do you hear this at idle? Windows up? Only at WOT?
How was the quality of the header, meaning the welds?

the resonance is just when the engine is cold, lasts for 1-2 minutes and its only at idle. .... however, I find there is a little whistle (which can be a leak cuz leaks make much more sound then that)... anyways, the headers are great up until now
