The shaking you feel is from the ESMM's. If it's really bad you might have a broken motor mount. Are you sure you got the right header for your car? I believe the DC5-S and the non-S use two different lengthed headers. Someone correct me if I'm wrong. I say jack you car up and visually inspect the mounts while its running and check out whats happening when you rev your engine. And yes you will lose power if you put a cat back on your car.

Did putting the race header on throw a check engine light.

Also, has anyone heard of Megan. Do they make a good header.

Thats supposed to happen with the esmm's, thers nothing wrong with you mounts, header, or ride height. They vibrate the most when your stopped and have your a/c on at any time but after they begin to break in they get alot quiter and less annoying. Just give it a little time . If its just too much to handle, you can just get Innovative Motor Mounts for around $220 or so and they will do even a better job than the esmm's just without causing your car to shake and be annoying.

Ya you will throw a cel code cause of the o2 sensor on the cat.

Megan is a great company that makes great products...for the price.
