Header install at Fun Fest?
Will there be booths set up for header installs and tunes at the fun fest? I know they have installed cat-back systems there, but I'm looking for a full set up plus tune!

They only do catback and brake installs. I've heard of headers being installed with a tune in a single day but the quality of the tune suffers. I asked for a one day turnaround when I had my headers installed by a professional shop and they highly recommended that I allow five days to do it right. The long pole in the tent is the tune. To do it properly, you need to progressively tune the car with hot and cold starts, dyno tune and finally a road tune to get the drivability just right. You're better off to take the time and do it right rather than having to spend more money later to get the car tuned correctly.

Never have seen them do header installs at any of the major events. Just takes too long.

Doubt they will be doing head installs.. Cat backs are pretty much straight forward but if you run into a problem with a header install like a header bolt snaping, off though rare ect. What can you do when your customer is from out of state, and you have a problem. the solutions to a problem out weigh the revenue in this situation.-=Rick

Bummer! New headers sure would have sounded good with the B&B Bullets, BH10. The good news is at least you can get a discount and free shipping while you're there. Do they have any good tuners in Alabama? (Not mouth harp tuners either....)
