    Knock on startup -- problem?

    Occasionally when I start my engine, it will knock once or so as it initially fires. Is this pretty common, or is it an indicator of an underlying problem?

    Cammed Stangers - how's your gas mileage?

    Does/will Magnaflow make headers?

    They make a high-quality part, as well as good performance. How come we don't have headers from Magnaflow? Personally, I'd like LTs and a shorty catted X (I'd probably just modify mine). Anybody?

    An interesting comparison

    Anybody else's exhaust smell like sulphur?

    I actually can't tell if it's me, and if it is, it seems to go away after the car warms up. Is this normal? My only mods are in my sig. I just had the catted x put on after Xmas :flag:

    Newbie ? - Difference btwn short and longblock?

    Sorry if this has been covered before, but I don't know the difference between a short and longblock. Is the shortblock the block only, and the longblock comes with heads (and/or other goodies)? Thanks in advance.
