Default Kook Headers installed

Just had Kook headers, 160 Thermostat added to Corsa touring exhaust. Kept stock intake. The question is...I am really running rich. Dealer says they do not have the software to mess with computer setting. Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Awesome! Did you do it at Kelly?

How does it sound? Do you think the headers made it sound better? Louder or deeper, or both? And, do you feel a SOTP difference?

Rhe work was done at Kelly Chevrolet by Angel. Also had the coated "heat" plate installed as well. Car in MUCH louder, as expected. The 160 thermostat lowered the temp to 190 as indicated on read out. At idle sounds louder. In the car it is basically the same no resonance.When I get on it it MUCH louder. Angel indicated that it will take a few days for the chips to burn a new mixture, so time will tell a far as running rich. I will dyno it once they get the softare.

I didn't know Mike had a shop in Pompano.

He never told me that.

It's not that bad only 87 at the moment Only going to be 93 today, I might need a light jacket. Enjoy the nice cool weather where you are and we'll catch up when you get back. Norris has formed a partnership with Roger at Horse Power They are putting a dyno in the shop and Mike will be doing the tuning. All the services Mike offers at his other location will be available to us down here now.
