just installed the cia headers on my sick6er...

(thanks john)

what should i look out for?

i want to make sure its not leaking (how would i know)

how would i know if the egr is put in right?

how would i know if is leaking?

whenever the i turn on the car...i can feel the car shake (bad shocks could be the culprit on this) but it goes away

when the car is under acceleration i can kinda hear the engine's firing via the exhaust...is that normal?

im not quite sure what its supposed to sound like


but on another note...i left a cloud of smoke when i floored it from a stop and spun through 2nd.
