Just got done installing BBK equal length headers on my car this weekend. I also did a smog system delete and a jet performance chip and the same time.

After starting it up and driving around a bit I noticed a considerable difference in my low end trq. I've been reading up and see that this is caused by exhaust scavenging. So i guess my ehaust is too big for what my motor is putting out.

Can I install things such as an intake and throttle body, making more air go in causing more to go out and get my low end trq back?

I have a K&N cold air, off road xpipe and 2.5" flowmaster cat-back for my other enigine mods.

How big is your exhaust? I just put 1 3/4 inch longtubes on a basically stock engine. It just has pulleys and a cam. I have no performance issues.

1&5/8" shorty equal length. then 2.5 all the way back

I also don't think I lost any torque I just think it moved up in the rpms and I want it too kick in pronto like it did before. I just dont like it taking off like a turd at first.

trust me, you dont lose torque by upgrading yoru exhaust. if you think there is an issue, its not bigger exhaust. run codes

im willing to bet the chip is the culprit...

any idea what they did, or is it just a mail order tune? if so, take it out, you dont need one yet...

and your EGR is probably throwing a code. get the website from adder for the proper EGR delete stuff.

Its a plug in chip. Pop a plastic cover off the ecu and it plugs in after your rub off this white coating with this "brillo pad" type thing they give you... i have taken the chip out three times to reclean the connector spots. no difference after i reinstalled tho. maybe i should take it out, reconnect everything then see what she does.

oh and also the EGR is still on the car. All I did was delete the smog air pump and the air lines going to the exhaust and the back of the heads

make sure all those holes where the smog stuff was are sealed properly.

Alright. Have any recommendations on best way to seal then?
