Thanks fellas I was avle to get all the ones on the driver side and tomorrow I will do the driver side. The car is fully together. The oroblem now is that my x pipe that comes with the kit doesnt fit, the headers are about a 1/4 of an inch wider where is suppose to meet with the x pipe(not the hole itself fits is the with from header to header where they meet with the x or h pipe).

Grab a buddy and give them a good bend…They will go…1/4" is nothing.
I had a similar problem with my h pipe but on the catback connecting end. The h outlets were too close together, one leg was pointing slightly in. I brought it to a local muffler shop, the guy heated it up with a torch, and used a long tube to "persuade it" straight.
Keep in mind that with some headers there are certain bolts you have to start first. If you put in all the others & snug them sometimes others won't go. I always make sure they are started by a few threads only (all of them) before I even attempt to begin tightening them.
Keep at it, you'll get it. But as others have said... DO NOT leave any bolts out or loose.

Hey do one of the hwaders always lower then the other ? Because one of mine is about an inch lower. Also I hear like a little ticking noise do long tubes do that ? Everything running good as hell and damn the car pulls. It fells a little laggy though I think maybe is just me.
I was able to fix it I had to cut it and adapt it but it works and looks good.
Well I took the car to the dyno, it made 376 on a dynomax or so.ething like that the guy said it was SAE. Is it supposed to be that low even though is an auto ? Also the intake is not fitting right and im guessing is now getting enough air could that hurt that bad the power ?
Yeah thats way low. What tune are you running?
What do you mean, the intake "is not fitting right"?
Pic of this please…I'm curious.
Ill take pics of the intake , apparently airaid came put with a new intake thats for the people that havw GTs and do tbw boss IM swap. The air box just dont sit the way is supposed to at all.
Right now I cant post pictures but I can sens them to your email if you want to see them.
Email the pics of the exhaust and intake…. [email protected]
Your Bama tune is for ALL your mods and not just the cold air right?
Yeah thats what I told them.
So Airaid CAI and JBA LT Headers?….Thats all you have as far as power mods right?
Boss IM, airaid intake, JBA long tubes and fullexhaust all the way back with their JBA axle backs.
Yeah, something isn't right. Numbers are low, even for an auto.
Unless that dyno is different then the dynojets.
I sent you the pics by the way
Got them. The only thing that stands out in the pics is the coupling on the TB end….Thats a pretty steep step-down. Is AM going to get you the correct coupling?
Besides the low numbers, how is the car running? Does it feel strong?
I would call Bama and discuss your numbers and any possible drivability issues….They will probably have you data log to see what is going on. If they make no adjustments and tell you all is good, I would jump ship and go with an AED tune…A Boss mani, LT Header car should put down more power than that…even through an auto.
The only other popular dyno I am aware of that will consistently put out lower numbers are Mustang Dynos.
