Header Experience Please Come in... I have a few questions. First I smell the car running rich since my cam swap last few weeks ago, do headers typically make you run rich or lean? No tune yet. Second the headers I bought are used Coated Hookers. Should I worry bout cleaning up the primarys they look a lil rough? Also would a reg. weld shop be able to reapir a visible leak on one of the air hose fittings its more like a small crack on the weld? I would hate to run richer. So if thats the case I will wait till I can get it tuned immediatly after the installtion. Any comments appreciated. Thanx

Also, since you're running an ORY. You should expect more of a gas smell from your exhaust.
You're running your car without a tune, so I'm sure your A/F is really jacked right now. Once my car was tuned most of the scent that you're mentioning was mellowed out a bit.
How long before you get tuned?
