Brandon is my buddy. He always takes care of me. I've been told they charge more to install non-Comptech headers because they never know if they are going to fit. When the OBX headers came out everyone was buying them because they were so cheap. Well it was taking Tischer so much longer to install them that they started charging more to cover their ass. They are charging you about 2.5 hours of labor which is fair in my opinion. I don't think they've done very many Alphawerks before.

Intake Manifold Runner Control.

Check out this video:

That should open around 4800 rpm even in park or neutral.

Checked out the IMRC with a buddy and its working properly. So I am still a little confused why the car seems so sluggish.
