    Idle Problems After LT Header and O/R Hpipe Install

    OP, it definitely sounds like you have an air leak. Try spraying some carb cleaner on the manifolds near the heads and if the idle changes, you have found your leak. Another way to test is to smoke-test/pressure-test your intake/vacuum line system. Most shops will have a smoke-tester/adaptor...

    Question about calipers !

    Gerard, The length of the caliper won't matter as long as it doesn't stick out off of the hub more than a brembo. The determining factor of whether or not a wheel fits a brake is what the offset on the wheel is compared with the offset that is required to clear the caliper. Most brake...

    Your best bet would be to get very thin, tin-stock aluminum and bolt it to the heatshield on the intake, so the air rushing in the hood is deflected away from the filter. Basically, build up the headshield so that the hood seals with it and any air rushing in is deflected away from the filter...

    help out a noob

    Yea, that's definitely not the stock intake. Have you gotten underneath the back of the car to see if it has mufflers or a mid-pipe? I would imagine with that intake that it's got mufflers on it, too. Check and see if the mufflers say something like Flowmaster or Borla on them:nice:
