Finished the Header install!!!!!

**99M6Z28** · 02-11-2006, 12:24 PM

I finished the header install this morning. I expected it to be a pain in the ass but it was really easy. The entire install and the y-pipe only took 4 hours. Hell I even changed the spark plugs. Granted I had access to all kinds of tools and a lift. My father helped me out and everything went really smooth. The only problem is the y-pipe bangs. It feels like a something grinding when I let the clutch out which I assume that is the pipe vibrating off the floor. Will a piece of heater hose work for now till I can get the bump stop from Thunder Racing? I don't really want the hose to melt or anything. Will it melt? Anyway, the car sounds awesome and it has a lot better throttle response. Only wish I could have left it open headers. Now that is awesome!!!!

I really havent got on it hard yet to see if there is a seat of the pants diffrence.

All I have to say is Pacesetters install rocks!!!
Thanks to everyone for the advise and help given in my selection!

the bump stop mod is good. you should also heat up the pipe and bend it abit.
the problem will go away.
with a hose, its gonna vibrate like a bitch, i tried that.

My y-pipe is a piece of crap as well.

I need to take it down and fix it, but for now I just rapped some rubber hosing around the subframe connector/ y pipe itself to keep it from making noise.

Yeah, I put some hose in there and it does vibrate like a bitch but it doesnt make any noise now so this will get me by till monday when I can get it back on the lift.
