Rep Power: 0 Yeah, I won't drive it around until I find this leak...I called KMS and some friends that know alot about cars and they all said it is a leak somewhere. It's not that big of a deal, and it can be fixed. Give me a day or two and I'll try to post pics (If I can get a decent camera). Overall, I'm still glad I got it I just need to fix the problem. I just have to keep a good attitude about it and things will work out.l

lol I think the swaying back and forth from 1000-2000 RPMs should be a deterent in itself.

Rep Power: 0 The problem isn't the IM itself...it's a leak either from the gasket to the head or a vacum leak. Don't let this discourage you guys into not getting one. This happens sometimes and it won't happen to everyone who got a KMS manifold. None the less, have it installed by professionals just to be safe. As far as it's functionallity...I really can't tell you if it functions the way it should or not because I'm scared to drive the car until I get the idle back to normal.

Rep Power: 323 I ordered all new gaskets from majestic a couple of days ago. I hope they don't lag. As soon as I get them the install will happen. And I will be getting a cheapy digital camera from djlutchi for pics. I'll pay extra attention to vaccume leaks when i install, so that will not be an issue.
I hope it turns out good.

Rep Power: 0 I hope everyone has a good install with there manifold also and I will be taking some pics tomorrow when my friend gets off work at 4:00. There's nothing really flashy about it, but you can tell it is a aftermarket manifold though.

For those of you with it who haven't installed or test driven yet, what kind of gain are you expecting from it?
I would assume that if you had a stock car with just this IM installed, you might get a little gain, but I would also assume that this IM plus I/H/E would yield a greater gain than the sum of its parts individually. Does that sound right?

Give it a rest already. He'll get them up when he gets them up. If you want to see what it looks like so bad go buy one yourself. Otherwise hold your f**king **** and just wait.

Hmm... I just ordered my Injen CAI and next on my list was a header, but now I'm thinking of getting the KMS IM first. What do you guys think?
