OBX-R header installed

so I bought an obx-r header off of clangfor72 and on like monday me and 2 buddies put the header on.

likes: feel the gain in hp, like the sound wit my sri installed also, looks awesome

dislikes: feel loss in torque, don't like that it deletes both cats!!, if you have an h bar its gonna be in the way of install, just take it off my friends broke mine , we had to take the fan off and still kinda beat it in to get it past the motor mount from underneath, it was easier than dropping it down. it also pulled my stock cat back in, so the tip is kinda sunk in

tips: take off fan and h bar(if ya have one) make sure u tighten everything and put the 2 o2 sensors into there bungs. have fun

Well yeah when you put in the header you're allowing too much exhaust too flow, so you're decreasing back pressure. And you don't really need two cats, that's probably why the manufactior didn't bother.
