for the past week i've installed a stabilizer, ground wires, new headers, catalyc converter, catback exhaust, repainted valve cover, and i ran into some problems afterwards.

5-6 days gone by, when i go to start my car [93 del sol], the battery seems low. bought the battery around 3 months ago. im like wtf... maybe the stabilizer causing this? i dunno...so i used jumper cables to charge the battery. works. as soon as i start it, the headers become extremely hot, burning the ground wire that was dangling (tied down now). kind of smokey but not really. are headers suppose to be THAT hot? maybe i need an oil change?... im lost.

when i connected the catback, the muffler is on really tight. u know the lil curve they got for the muffler tip to go. its touching the top of the buddly club rear that i got. i cant explain things well.. is there a way to bend it down just a little bit? its rattling the rear when i rev. very annoying.

ok my last problem is this...when i go to park my car back in the garage [pushed it out to connect jumper cables to other car. i left it running for about 5 mins to recharge or whatever.] and turn it off. i tried to start it again but the battery dies. need help. =/

 

get rid of the stabilizer and ground wires that came with it... or just get rid of the stabilizer... ground wires can stay.

 

what about the headers beaing extremely hot? any reason for it?
