Team,
1995 5.0 EB. I found a hole in the passenger's side header, took to a local muffler shop. They weren't able to find matching headers (brand isn't made anymore), so had gotten a new set of Basani shortys, and since it wasn't an exact match I just had them order and install both sides in case pipe diameter or shape would be significantly different.
Picked up this afternoon and the tech said "it might need a tune up with the new headers now on there, running a little bit rough." I drove off the lot and sure enough it is running very rough, actually feels like it's just running on 7 cylinders. It was 'huffing' a bit when I took it in there due to the manifold leak but certainly wasn't missing like this.
Any truth to the notion that with a new/different set of headers on I would also need a tune-up to match engine timing and flow, or did they just screw up or are trying to get a tune-up job out of the deal as well?
Thanks in advance for your guidance.
