so you thought the car was broken and you decided to put headers on it? def shouldnt be modding or racing a car if it feels sluggish or down on power at all like you described... just my opinion. I would get a scanner on there ASAP. If that doesnt point to anything def check the compression

cleaned the maf sensor today...to say it was dirty would be an understatement. there was about 6 bugs in the screen part and the wires were completely black and having gunk on them. .

are you using an air filter??

if you read my last post..it basically said the car is fixed power wise. how else would you suggest to confirm if a car is down on power? Magic fairy dust? I replaced the headers because I thought the cats were clogged and I raced it to see if I was right about it being down on power....

I just bought the car...who knows what the last owner was doing...I replaced the k&n filter with a paper one the day I bought the car. My guess is that the maf was dirty from over oiling the k&n...no idea where the bugs are coming from....maybe the intake was loose at soem point.

I don't know about the motor mounts...it moves a lil, but not enough to think they are completely gone. I had it up on a lift and the clamp for the y pipe only has an 1/8 of an inch roughly from the floor.
