:flipa: :flipa: :flipa: My car is making some nasty ass sound ever since i put my hoyshot header on. I can't figure it out. The sound is like a clicking or something...it gets louder with heavy throttle. it sounds like its coming from the distibutor. WHy would a header cause my distibutor to all of the sudden go out. luv my car but hate it right now.

I'd fire the monkey who installed it. ;)
Seriously....
Check:
1) Retorque the head nuts
2) Make sure the EGR is connected completely and properly
3) Make sure the O2 sensor is not loose
4) Retorque the primary/secondary nuts - if you got the latest HS header it sould have metal locknuts. If it's older stock it won't have them. Find metal locknuts to replace the nuts.
5) Make sure the header isn't contacting anything (especially the swaybar)
6) Make sure you didn't knock anything loose
7) If it jingles a little, that's somewhat normal. If it jingles a lot, start back at the top of this list.
:p
