Be waiting to see how this turns out, and how it gets fixed.

She will get fixed. But that unplanned stay at the shop, that is what is really bothersome.

sucks, but it happens. One of the downsides to modding. Hang in there.

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?

I think it may already have an answer.....Semtex led me to this thread:

DIY: Stillen header installation

And the photos and the issues he describes are 100% to a tee what the issue is I'm having. I'll be pointing Altered Atmosphere to the thread in the morning.

(Thank you, Semtex! I owe you.....again!)

You're welcome. FYI, it's Stillen's headers that throw off the alignment slightly.
