people with ebay headers please read
I just got done putting on my ebay header, and the sound is HORRIBLE, i think that there is no way that it is working right, i think it is leaking from either the header-downpipe, or the downpipe-cat. I'm kinda confused about the downpipe-cat connection, is there supposed to be a visible gap, where you can see the curved in part at the end of the downpipe entering the cat opening?
the sound is straight farty/VERY raspy and rattly too, raspy would be the best word i think, sounds kinda like a lawnmower. it will only shut up and start sounding decent at prolly about 4000rpms (i dont have a tach so i cant be sure) and it sounds fine then, but before that.. its real bad.

Re: people with ebay headers please read (Coolcat55)
There should be a donut gasket between the header and the cat.
Should be the same as your stock one. Go look at your old one that you took off.
Mine sounds great and I have had no problems with it.
