new headers, now new problems... well as usual, after i got my headers on i ran them straight for about 1 and 1/2 days i got rear O2 sims and still i threw a code well next day i finally got me some extensions and a y pipe on and so far thats it and i did the pcm flash thing where you pull the 2 fuses and let it set for about 5 minutes when i started it up the code was gone and it ran kinda rough for a while then it seemed to be better well before the y pipe it was using gas like you wouldn't believe 11 miles used over a 1/4 tank of gas ( yikes!!) now it seems that i have a misfire or two.. ok 1 how can you tell if its a bad plug, or a O2 sensor that went bad....also i assume there is a spring holding the clutch pedal coz it made a pop about 2 days after the header install and i found no spring but the pedal sure does feel different, it works just fine.. you know this 1 mod has caused me more grief man just wait till i do the heads and cam swap.. i'm betting the car will catch fire or something huh..

Re: new headers, now new problems... My headers were a pain. My car is still sitting in my basement because I'm missing a small piece of pipe between my exhaust and y-pipe. I also have to get one O2 bung tapped because they welded it on backwards. Funny thing is, I drove it home with open headers and one O2 sensor and still have no code...
