Headers Help!
Hello this is my first post, I kinda feel like a virgin getting for the first time
I just had some Gibson shorty's installed on my 04 FX4 and there is a new and strange vibration in the steering wheel, is this commin? I still need do the hundred mile break in before the re-torqing of the bolts, should I be worried about this vibration?
sorry for the long winded first post.

I don't understand how headers have anything to do with a vibration in the steering wheel. Did you pull the wheels when you did the install? Is it possible that a wheel weight got knocked off?

Yes they did pull the wheels, I can feel this vibration when at idle. I'm hopping it's not because they had to lift the motor from the motor mounts.

Do you have a programmer on your truck? Maybe your exhaust is flowing better and you truck is running a tad bit lean I dunno I have LTs on mine with HF cats with or without my programmer I don't see an issue like you are describing with yours.
