Sometimes when taking off in first gear i hear a low pitched sound when my clutch is about halfway engaged...the sound goes away when i fully depress the clutch pedal...does this sound like the clutch may be going bad? also instead of starting a new thread i notice that many .org members run hotshot headers and i am very interested in purchasing some however i am wondering about how much i should be looking to spend? should i bring the car to any muffler shop to get the work done?Is the Apexi tuner necessary in order to make my car run correctly(worried about air-fuel ratio)?

 

What kind of sound? If you can get a recording of it life would be easier.

 

i have no way to provide a recording its just a low toned sound...almost like a car with bad suspension would make if u turned it too hard but its very low-pitched as opposed to a squealing high pitched sound

 

Some sort of bearing or mainshaft? It's impossible to diagnose stuff like this over the internet for me.

 

maybe throw out bearing?

 

He's got the symptoms of a TO bearing but they make high pitched squeals, not low moans.

 

My OEM clutch hummed before I replaced it. It never slipped but it needed replacement.

 

i have an aftermarket clutch and i'm starting to get that too.. my is more of a whining sound though. damn, i thought after market kits resolved that problem =/

 

bump for my header questions
