Nope, no problems here. I passed smog with that setup to. Guy didn't care about the visual part though.

did you ever get an engine light or something, it has been weird to me, right when i drive out of the muffler shop my car starts pulling really hard then when i try to step on it in dosnt go very fast as it used to. my guess its the clutch but im trying to figure out if its the exhaust set up.

Sgt. Pepper are you still running the header and the cat? if so how's it working for you? was there a reasonable power gain ?

take it off, run without it.

you have a boost controller? ported wastegate? you are most likely over boosting major. so be careful.

I don't run the cat anymore, I now have a pre-silencer instead. When I went from stock to Racing Beat full exhaust I felt a pretty good increase in power. It shaved my 1/4 time from 16.9 to 16.8 But that just might be due to a tired engine?
