Bad Mab Header Review
After hearing all of the reviews on this header I picked up one for myself. I must say, it's worth more than the price tag would tell you. It was out of stock apparently when I bought it from Bad News Racing, but like a true professorial, he'd emailed me within the hour telling me so.
Didn't matter though because about a day later I had shipping info, and about a day after that, I had me some go fast bling on my door step. I must say, I really like how the money didn't leave my PayPal till he shipped it and he offered me a refund if I didn't want to wait. A+ for sure.
Fit was great, gaskets included, and all the studs were of the proper pitch. No nuts for them, but I just went and shelled out $0.65 ea for some allen head screws at Ace Hardware anyway.
Anyhow, no seat of the pants commentary, I'll just wait for the dyno to see where my numbers went. A few pics below with the installed pics this weekend when it's dry and I'm not tired.
Stockers
Oh yessums

Oh no, it's not that I didn't feel a difference, it's just that I did a header and exhaust within 3 days of each other and wouldn't know what hp was from what mod. That and the fact that everything I have done so far honestly made it feel a lot slower.
Thats what the tune is for though. For one at WOT I am reading 10 flat afr which is the richest it can read, and I also used to know "just how to shift" it to keep abuse management from kicking in. I never feel it kick in anymore, which makes since because I swear, it is permanently engaged now. The drive train wants to move so freely now you can feel it when you shift and the car pulls as hard a 2/3 throttle as it does at WOT. I need a tune.
