Very much so!

Fixed

Status as of Friday evening:

I tried to contact Altered Atmosphere this morning to lead them to semtex's thread regarding his experience during his Stillen header install but unfortunately they had already corrected the issue. I'm not 100% how it looks but they "cut" about two inches off my Berk HFC's and welded it back in place. According to them there was no leak and the wheels are on so basically the car is ready for pickup tomorrow.

Only thing is.....while test driving the car to make sure the tires arent rubbing the wheel wells or the sway bar or anywhere else for that matter the car dropped a CEL. It was in regards to a bad O2 sensor. Must have happened during the header install.

What's the going price on a new O2 sensor? :icon14:

Are they sure it isn't from the HFCs themselves?

Could have just heated up the exhaust before they first "Y" and then push it up into place. It will put a slight bend on the exhaust that will make no difference in sound and flow and problem fixed...but I guess you guys took the harder way out :)

Honestly....I dont know. I wished I had taken another day off and been there for what they did. When I left Altered yesterday I gave them to go ahead to cut the HFC's before seeing semtex's thread. I now have a set of Berk HFC's that are modified to fit only my 370....thankfully I still have the stock ones.

I'm a bit nervous about tomorrow....going and the get the car and seeing that CEL on. I'll be sure to get the name of the code it threw and maybe that will help. They welded the HFC's back up after cutting them and said there were no leaks.

Just uploaded photos and a walk around video of the car here:

awesome man !!


change that avatar...lol

While pretty rare the Berk HFCs have thrown a CEL before. I don't think the cutting would make a difference if it were done correctly.

I hope not. They (Altered) are ordering me a new O2 sensor and I'll be heading back up there soon to get it fixed.

I have "Service Engine Soon" on. Be happy when that goes off.

Also, does anyone know.....I feel a shimmy and my steering wheel isnt straight in order to go straight. I have to leave it slightly to the right. Could this be from the offsets or do I need a new alignment already? :confused:

alignment

Yeah but like Jon said, just drive it for a week or two then get that bad boy aligned.

very true, let them coilovers settle in before doing it

Cool deal! This makes me feel better! Thanks tooo & nogood! :tup:
