Agree 100%. Lots of people say their new headers (of any brand) don't "need" tuning for them, but to get any advantage from them (whether they be $300 Ebays or $1200 Stainless Works) you really need to tune for them. Personally, I got 2-3 MPG's depending on driving style for that particular tank of gas, lol.
well whenever Justin's cable gets here, i'll see if i can find it. i can't wait to get this thing tuned so i can actually give it some gas!! i ain't been over 1/2 throttle since Jan (partly due to me being TDY all of March)

and in case you missed it earlier, try installing the header bolts loosely to the heads, then the back of the Y, and then put the merge pipes together. then go back & tighten everything. otherwise, it's a real bear

hmmm, I didn't have any luck finding them either. This happened before, and within days they were back up on Ebay again.

Yeah, that's almost 150 more than what I paid for mine. Just keep an eye out for them.

After scanning ebay, it looks like they're charging more for them now... glad I grabbed mine last month.
