Cattman Headers Installed + Video Clip

Alright fellas. I got my headers from Cattman last Monday and was out of town all week so I didnt get to see them until I got home Friday, I was about to loose my mind because I was so anxious to see them. Got back Friday night opened up the box and they looked great! I called Brian and told him how nice they looked and what a great job he did on them. I woke up first thing Saturday morning and went to the shop to get these things installed.. Overall it took me and a buddy of mine about 4 1/2 hours to complete the whole job, and thats taking the hood off, fans, radiator, intake manifold, plastic/metal liners by the wipers an even my passenger axle to have more access to the rear manifold. I'm 6'5" 270lbs so a big guy like myself needs some room.. I still have the y-pipe with no cat so I'm waiting on Brian to send me the new one with the high flow cat and the 02 ports behind that. I extended both sensors up front, both were extended 6" and they are perfect. I soldered them, put electric tape and shrink sleeve and was even able to install the factory high temp hose around them so it worked out well. Since theres only one spot for one of the secondary sensors to go I just unplugged one for now until I get the new y-pipe. The car is throwing a code from the one secondary sensor being unplugged and the car has a pretty big exhaust leak from me being so low on my coilovers from hitting bumps in the road which is my fault but the coilovers are coming off and I'm gonna go back with lowering springs because $1200 underneath the car is too valuable to mess up lol... But overall I like the way the car sounds, its quite a bit louder but I'm gonna wait to see if the new y-pipe with a high flow cat tones it down a little before I go and buy a resinator. Even with the little sputter the car has and being untuned the car pulls alot harder than it did before so as of now I'm very pleased and I cant wait to get the new y-pipe and get this thing tuned.. I will post a few pics when I get a chance..


Here is a small video clip:

You know you can always raise the car up and not be slammed. No spring/shock combo will match a coilover system.

Sounds kinda raspy though. However headers do increase noise output levels

Yes I know, but I'm pretty set with my decision so its all good. Thanks for the info though appreciate ya..

Yes it is but I'm gonna wait for my new y-pipe to come in and see if it tones it down a lil, and then see which resinator I wanna go with...
