First i've heard of that happening...did the guy that installed them go back and double check everything? re-torque all the bolts and etc?

I think so. Instead of a limo or something we got the camaro. Unfortunately I just lost a center cap

Florida Tech. Normal school is out but the clinical psych program is year round. 6 academic years and one internship year is crammed into 4 and 1.

He checked i checked and i had the shake before and my dad told me that that it could be the spark plugs way before i got the headers or my exhaust we are talking 6 months ago. it shakes when i turn the car on for a couple of minutes after the car has warm up and i drive it, it doesnt shake but if i am on a stop sign or an a red light or park it starts to shake again.

Well my rpms do fluctuate at red lights but nothing crazy and that's without that garbage ghost cam....


Check your plugs to be safe you don't have to worry about removing them when you install headers like you do on the V8's but it's easy to check them so just to be safe

It is a feature of the trifecta tune, it makes it so it seems like you have a cam in your car when you in fact don't. Depending on what setting you have it at your car can shake violently (mine did on aggresive haha)

Which reminds me I need to get rid of ghost cam on mine, don't even use it anymore

I doubt it if he doesn't know what a ghost cam is

he may have gotten a tune and the shop installed it, and had the ghost cam activated or he bought it used with trifecta and didn't notice the shaking as much without headers.

ok. when checking the spark plugs, you are looking for a crack, even a hairline crack in the white porcelain part of the plugs.

also, if you get a chance, get a code reader, or go to autozone and have them read your cel codes. just to be sure the only cel you are getting are from your o2 sensors from the long tubes.
