when in the rpm range does this happen
if it happens down low (below 3000) then its normal, once you install a high flow headeR (no s, only 1 on a honda) you loose low end.

Recheck your header bolts and make sure that the nuts are all tightened if you didnt do so already. After you have installed them bolts its always good to recheck them for fitment since the header is now warm and has had a chance to expand. You may be leaking out exhaust out the headers..
