Wagner Shorty Header

[wannabe]

i fixed my sound!! (yippy) i took the header back off and put all new studs in the collector and was able to torque the nuts on much easier and more secure. i also put studs on the block in all the hard to get to bottom bolt locations, and was able to spin a nut on easily, then torque the hell outta it with a wrench. all in all, MUCH more solid.

no sounds that i have heard yet...havent had it on the freeway to test the WOT whistle though...


and no, i did not replace the gasket, just cleaned it up and put some rtv on it.

....i used this 1500 temp heat paint I got from Consumer Auto Parts for 6.99 a can. worked well and they have numerous colors.

much better than spending an extra $115.00

looks good, let me know how it holds up in a couple months...

what's the butt dyno say, jon?

seems to be pulling a lot harder. its not taking off, off the line, but once it starts rolling it seems to just keep building, instead of falling flat...as far as whp, i cant really say, but its definetly more than either the intake or exhaust gave me

[OT]BTW: WTF, u got married already? katie & lisa told me I didn't know what the date was or I would have tried to make it... anyways congrats![/OT]

I agree here.....I did not lose anything in the low RPM range and improved in the mid to upper range.

Maybe I will take everything off sat, clean the gasket and put the sealer stuff on.

We will see if I have time.

i got mine on about 2 or so weeks ago...good stuff, more power, and i agree, a whole lot better looking than the damn rusty looking manifold...it has this brownish tint to it though...

 

[wannabe]
