i havent looked into this but can u buy just the headers w/ no y-pipe from stillen... and if so will the stillen headers fit right with the cattman y-pipe? i dont think it will work from looking at em. let me know if im wrong.

LOSE power, so why waste the $$.
Y-pipe, intake and ECu..= good power and cheap! thats what im doing!
less than $1000 and looks like good WHP!

That just doesn't make sense. Back pressure doesn't help anything. Sounds to me like $tillen is trying to buy some time to try and figure the problem out.
How has the car been driving?
Are you going to go back to the stock B & muffler?
We need to hook up with Jay & Dixit and go to the dyno in Woodstock. Having and OBD2 scanner hooked up may help us figure out what is going wrong with your setup. I still think it's a knock sensor/timing, coil or $tillens little black box issue.

back pressure creates your low end torque, without back pressure, your car would pull like a 1.8L automatic Integra(From a stop). Ofcourse then you would gain more HP on top end, meaning keeping your RPM above 3000 at all times during regular driving.

You know what Will has. Our plots look like carbon copies until his takes the big dip at 4200.
So much for that theory, his low end TQ is just fine. At 2k he has about 205lbs...

That very well could have been causing your problem. The air leak would throw the ECU off, you'd be running lean -3800 and when the ECU adds fuel +3800 it could hickup just like the dyno shows.
What made you think to look there? That is a good catch, sounds like an assembly error.

ha! i have no clue what made me think to take that off and look there. i was thinking since the valve opens and the power loss is after that point maybe that thing had something to do with it. im ordering a new one tomorrow. Bigdogjonx found the part numbers for both the gaskets. thanks guys! after i put the new gaskets on i will definately post how the car feels. 56k on the car and my plugs show definate signs of being worn but other than that they are good to go!

When I had my stock exhaust on there, my car was a little quicker than now. Now I have the 2.5 exhaust. Less low end but MORE top end.

That's only one of thousands of correct analysis for the backpressure myth..
