The difference in exhaust temp and volume of the i.d of the header will throw the O2 sensors off. In turn, the computer thinks its running lean which will throw it into 'safe mode' and dump fuel, which will make you lose power.


BTW, just check to make sure the bolts are tight on your manifolds for the first 2-3 weeks. I checked 3 days after the install then once on the weekend to make sure. They were fine after the re-check.
