Reply to "Header installation"

Had first test trip today. The headers are acting quite opposite of what I expected. They are quieter than before, not something I'm too happy about, though it's appropriate now as an Italian GT. The headers are thick walled, but still, I'm a bit surprised they're quieter. Still, I had to stop on another matter at the local mechanic, and all three came out to see what made that sound, so it can't be all bad...

Secondly, being low diameter and tri-y, I had expected more power at low rpm and no significant change at high rpm. What I got was no change at low rpm but much more power at high rpm. WOT is considerably faster.

I know that when installing headers I need to richen the carb (I've read my own book), and I haven't gotten around to that yet, so when I've done that I'll hopefully see some more power at low rpm.
