it also depends on where you live and in some aspects age (loudness of exhaust)
in NYC everyone's car is loud af in the summer, all you hear and see are M cars if you know where to look

For AA, you're just going to have to wait for a sale if you want a discount. I think they do a Black Friday sale and/or Memorial Day, that kind of thing. FWIW, I'm AD Navy and have been on and off several Navy and Marine Corps bases without issue.

So, I bought my car with the AA headers already installed and when I was under it the other day I noticed that the header/midpipe connection looked like it might be leaking. Not from the flange faces but from the fact that the header flange holes were slotted to bolt up to the stock midpipe for some reason.
For the people who have installed them yourselves, is it necessary to drill the header flange like that to get it to bolt up to the midpipe?

Yeah, I've read a ton of header install threads and didn't see anyone mention that. Super frustrating because it basically means to fix it properly the headers need to be pulled off and have the holes welded up and re-drilled.
Unfortunately, the holes were slotted way more than they needed to be (which was not at all) and actually extend into the weld that connects the flange onto the header tube. So there is no way to use just an oversized washer or something to cover up the slot.

Hey all, so checking back in, did anyone with the idle fluctuation figure it out? My ara been doing it on and off for the last few years. Haven't driven it much during the pandemic and now I'm driving more again. The idle surge comes back sometimes, normally when warm, and this time around it gets a little closer to stalling.
Pretty much all the usual suspects got replaced, vanos units, solenoids, plugs, coils, valve cover, etc. Though I did not change the eccentric shaft sensor or cam sensors. No codes though. Thanks for any ideas, would love to get this sorted. |

DME update using WinKFP made the biggest impact on mine, after the update it surges way less than before. It still does it very occasionally but seems to correct itself quickly and stop.
