To anyone who has an A-SPEC header

I just installed my aspec header today and now my car has a raspy sound on acceleration.........just wondering if this is normal becuase it's annoying as F**K...i thought aftermarket headers would have a nice low growl or drone to it.......any replies would be great


Thank you in advance

Yup, sounds like a leak. Find your throttle cable (I still can't find it on the Fit lol) or have someone sit in the car. Rev it a little and try to see/feel for any leaks.

If this wasnt a joke; you havent found the cable because the Fit doesnt have one. Its electronic, AKA DriveBy Wire.

So, do you like the header? Butt dyno love and is it noisy (now that you have it correctly installed)?
