What could cause a sudden increase in brake pedal firmness? I've noticed that I have to push my brake pedal much harder to slow down now that I've installed my headers. Could I have an exhaust leak and not be pulling enough vacuum for them? Not sure if an exhaust leak could cause that or not. Any ideas?

Re: What could cause a sudden increase in brake pedal firmness? no. you need to check for vacuum at the brake booster, bacically make sure that fat *** hose is still hooked to the booster and to the intake you might have pulled it off when you installed the headers.
