Header/DP Questions

Ok,

So a few days ago I got the ZZP mid-length header and catted downpipe installed. I'm about 150/200 miles into the break in period, and i've been trying not to shift above 3k at all, now, i've got not CEL and I've noticed an obvious power increase in just the light driving I have been doing. No problems at all, in fact, however I did notice that a more significant amount of water/liquid comes from the tailpipe than it did before...is this normal? is it something to do with the break-in period? will it go away? and should I be concerned? just thoughts, let me know yours! thanks in advance!

exhaust goes from freezing cold to burning hot and back to cold again. so there's going to be condensation. i wouldn't worry about it.

k wasn't too sure, and didn't want to be breaking something before it even gets worn in.


on a side note... do you have yours installed yet?
