Hmm.

Probably went lean, suffered major detonation, and then threw a rod.

That sucks

Like I said on the other site, we don't know who installed the headers/told the owner that no new tune was needed. Let's all at least be fair at least until that information comes to light.

Definitely not. Especially on an enthusiast forum.

There's a lot of information still missing. But that never stops the inevitable knee-jerk reactions. I'll be going with a GTM kit in the future myself, but fair is fair. And I suspect we are only getting part of the story.

Who installed the headers/recommended no new tune was needed, for instance. That important bit of information is missing.

KaienZ34 · 03-21-2011, 10:42 PM

I got the torches.

KaienZ34 · 03-22-2011, 01:18 AM

That is very true, i was just being facetious.

I'll make an assumption that since he paid dealership prices to keep the third party warranty on the car that the dealership also installed the headers.

If that is the case, and the 3rd party warranty is indeed covering his repairs, then it may turn out that having the stillen kit over the gtm is actually a wise decision, since he will only be out time and not $$$.

Anthony@PM · 03-22-2011, 08:26 AM

wow... I guess the bright side is its being covered under warranty.

If adding headers caused the AFR to run so lean that this happened it seems like the original tune was $hit anyway.

How do you figure this? Maybe it was so perfect the headers threw it off and went too lean? lol such stupid comments.

My headers made me run leaner when i had normal bolt-ons...I can only imagine what it did to that car running a supercharger...
