Jet Hot header/Hooker pipe have questions All, I installed 01-02 headers and hooker ORY y-pipe few days back on my 02SS. I have few questions:
1) Everything fit in perfectly but looks like my y-pipe is banging somewhere on the floor board or the black bracket holding y-pipe at WOT and at times when I am idle......what can i do about that?
2) Also I felt like I have lost power or torque
3) The air outlet on headers that I have already has 3/16 hole in middle. It is much smaller then the hole n original air outlet on stock manifold. Do i still need air restrictor plates?
4) Last, I couldn't get last bolt on passengers side all the way in. Is that kool or i need to do something about it...no leaks though.
thank ya'll

2) you might be running rich, check your afr if you can. its normal to be a bit rich after a header install. tuning should net you that hp you've "felt" you've lost. dyno numbers show that in fact you dont loose as much doen low as you think. LTs are more mid-top range difference though since it noves your power band up a bit.
3) dont know, i removed my whole air system.
4) get the bolt all the way in. it might be easier to reach from the bottem
