Another headers thread
Anyone in SoCal know where I can get my headers put on for decent price? I am located in Bakersfield, but have had to drive down to LA anyway to see my dad in the hospital so an LA shop works too. Also, is the car safe to drive with headers 100+ miles to get it tuned? Thanks in advance! (Mods please move this if you think it should be in regional thread, i thought i would get more attention here.)

It should not hurt it to drive it without being tuned as I have heard of others on here going forever without being tuned for them. I think I even read a few accounts of people not even getting them tuned although that will always give you the most bang for your buck.
As for shops, I'm on the other side of the US from you. But aside from Mail-Order from BPC, doesn't AA's site have a place on their website where you can put your zip code in, and they will show if they have any licensed installers/tuners in the area you entered?

Sorry for all the questions, just trying to gather as much data as possible. I have the N52, but plan to leave my everything from the flange of the headers back stock including secondary cats and resonator.

I know he was leaning towards the same conclusion though. |

I replaced the eccentric shaft sensor when I did my leaky valve cover gasket, no effect on idle.
If you had idle problems before the headers, maybe it is the ESS. Pull the connector off and look for oil in the connector. That might indicate it has gone bad. |
