So this is my first car with an aftermarket header. Is it normal that at idle with the AC on, that you can feel the engine more? I don't want to say it's rough at all, but I just feel like I'm able to feel the engine idling a little bit more. I guess it's just something I'll have to get used to.

I didn't notice any difference in "engine feel" while idling.

It's not bogging or anything. It just seems like I can hear as well as feel the exhaust more than usual after putting it on. I really hope it's not a tune thing cuz I didn't plan on getting it tuned for awhile.

@FT-86 SpeedFactory, any opinions here? The car is performing great and sounds amazing, so there's nothing to worry about there. And like I said, it's only when I turn the air on.

Are you talking about feeling the engine take more load with AC on vs off while idling? Because that's normal.

Yes, I just now feel it more with this header on at about 700rpm.

Just talked to my buddy who's shop I used to install all my stuff the other day. I installed a transmission insert that we think might be the culprit adding some NVH. He's hoping it's the transmission I am feeling, not the engine. So we are going to take that out and see. If not, I guess I'll have to get on the phone with the tuner.

This is what I get for installing multiple things at once.

Sounds great!! Hope That my setup will be like yours.
USPS says my Header has passed german customs. Hope to get it Till the weekend!!
