In the meantime I'm going to run ceramic 45degree wires. I'll save the new headers for my first oil change time as it appears the oil lines have to be disconnected anyway.

Texas Speed is made in China too. You want the best, get the best. ARH without question, all day, every day

Wow thanks for the heads-up. I paid $300 for my China eBay headers - no way I'd want to pay $999 for the same Chinese sh*t! Only reason I was interested in them was because I had read in another forum thread that it was possible to install them without removing the oil lines.

I'm noticing that their mid-length ones seem to come in two parts (a bit like the OEM manifolds). If that is the case then I reckon they will be a breeze to install!

middies are not the same as long tubes just in two pieces. You need the long tubes for sure. At your power level jump right to the 2” long tubes..

I read that the 2" can be a real pain in the *** to install? If we're talking a loss of 10hp for easier installation, then I'm OK with that. If its a lot more then hmmm

I am just at the point now where I am sick of everything being such a pain in the *** on this car! I have nobody to help me with installing stuff, there are no reputable garages to do it, and if I'm doing it myself I want it to be as trouble free as possible.

full length is the ticket. Only reas9n I would run mid length is if you add them to the car and want to get by without needing to adjust the tune for warranty purposes

my 2" fit great and went on flawlessly. With a built setup you definitely need them. My bolton GS also made more power than a comparable modded with same tuner 6gen with 1 7/8 on same dyno same day

You absolutely have not, and don't think I'm questioning your expertise for one second.

It took me drilling out the holes to get the flanges to line up and had to take the rear tubes going to the mufflers to a buddies muffler shop to get the offset bends right so it would even mount up. They had better back up the welds on this as well. Stay AWAY from them. I'm hoping to get at least a year out of them and then regardless of condition they are going in the trash.

For a start, replace the wideband. I don't care how many miles it has.
I've found that a single wonky part can lead to exactly what you are experiencing. The issue then is which one(s). But, at the least, start with what's suspicious. All the best.
