Anyone else lose torque? I do believe that after my mac header/orp install the car has less low end grunt. It seems that it doesnt start to really pull untill 3600 rpm. Do you think something may not be right or is this to be expected?

Re: Anyone else lose torque? True, 'would wax me', but then again i have been driving the car since 2000 and just now put headers on. By the way when i get to be bad-a enough i will too get a bad-a license plate <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" /> .

Re: Anyone else lose torque? Your car is louder now, which makes you think it is working harder at the same speed as before, but it's not. You definitely have seen an increase in low end torque.
It can throw off your butt-o-meter for sure. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />
