25608, header noise Posted by Angel, Jun-20-02 08:30 AM
For some strange reason my headers, brospeed ceramic, make a weird revibe noise at around 3000 rpms. I have not wraped them, but the kit is at shop, no time. Does anyone else have this problem and how to fix. Don't know if the wrap will do the job, but eventhough they are ceramic it still get as hot as hell under the hood, anyone want hot dogs. Any advice before I go nuts due to noise.

Don't know about the noise. You could check to make sure all the nuts/bolts are tight (especially the header support bracket). Wrap them if you want. You're unlikely to cause any damage. I wrapped my old Pacesetter headers and had no problems. It mainly kept me from burning my hands on the headers.

Thanks for the insight. Nuts and bolts are tight, but its a noise caused the gases inside the pipe somehow, like a bass revibration, but really high pitched. Its weird, may just get new headers, don't know. Have to see how the wrap does. As for the other, don't like being called a lyer, nothing personal to any of you, I just the honest and honorable type. All I can say is what I have been told. Although I would like to know how much HP my car is putting out so I'm trying to get the headers wraped and my UDP on so they will dyno mine. Hoping for atleast 150+.

Sort of a buzzing noise? That's common. Invest in a larger resonator and it'll go away.
I put a turbine housing in the way, and that made it stop for me ;-)
