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

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.
