The reply area is the reply area is the area that you type in to reply to these posts. When you scroll down to click "SUBMIT REPLY" there should be 3 sections the first one says "options" (where you choose email notification, disable smilies, etc.), the 2nd section is "attach file", and the 3rd section is "Rate This Thread", it's the 2nd section that says "attach file". It has nothing to do with which computer or browser you're using (well at least I don't think it does).

Kats,
Thanks for trying to help. I do not have that second option...
I also noticed that on the top under user cp that my signature has a X in it... Im going to try and upgrade to os x on my computer today so i can get the latest explorer... I think that might give me all the options.
Thanks

Ahhhhh I see. Just so you know, my signature shows as a red X too, but it shows in my posts. ???? Good luck, if you need help, let me know.

Everyone will have an opion about headers. I have the hedaman 4-2-1. I have NOT had any issues with mine! I also have stock heat shields installed. I the BTG/headman combo of sound & performance. & it's not just me, even my wife has noticed

[KatsKruizin]

So please tell this blonde what headers will actually do for performance.

The idea of a "tuned header", ... is to help remover the burned up exhust gasses from the engine faster. There are a lot of factors that effect the correct length, size, shape and design of headers, to make one type or design work better than another. It's not just about bigger pipes, ... it has to do with acoustic tunning, preassure pulses, that help draw the exhaust gasses out of the engine and the fresh fuel charge into the engine.

An engine is a big air pump and headers, that are designed correctly, ... can help to stream line the flow of gasses out of the engine.

In some cases, headers make little improvement, .... depending on how good the factory design is to start with. Example; ... if the CAT and muffler are restrictive, ... then a header will not help much at all!

Also, .. on some cars, that don't have a "learning computer", .. you could actually cause a lean condition and damage the engine, ... if the lean was not corrected!!

Many of these situations and concerns are taken care, of during the development part of designing a header for sale to the public.

WOW! Great information Bob! So what "type" of header do you suggest for someone like me, who has the AIRAID, and a free flowing exhaust setup?

Except for Hedamn, ... oh, I mean Hedman.


They throw something together that's CR@P, then package it with great marketing.
Almost everyone buys into their garbage and then the trouble begins.

Ask those here about cracked welds, warped surfaces, and melted components.


This is only my opinion.

So I'm gonna guess by your opinion Mikey, that I SHOULD NOT consider Headman Headers? *giggle*

Kat,
Don't just take my opinion,.... do a search for the keyword on the forums. You'll find several owners who have had serious problems with the Hedamn header.
