BBK ceramic Lontubes
BBK custom offroad Hpipe with cutouts
stock catback
no smog stuff

well i get all the wires run and tightened down every thing and fired it up, DAM it sounds so good a couple of leaks but i can fix that the egr tube is leaking at the egr got to bend it some more, i found a rotted out grommet for the antenna thats right where water pours down from the hood so that might be why my floor was wet. but i love the way it idles lumpy

Are the headers suppose to smoke since they are new?
do i need to retorque all the bolts after its been run a while, since i have stage 8 locking bolts and copper gaskets?

Ill try and get sound klips tommorow its dark here and I dont want to wake everyone up

From my experience it is better to do a few heat cycles/retorques on the header bolts before putting the locks over the bolts. I'll bet it sounds killer
