any links to the cattmans?
Their main website cattman.com but the site doesnt have much info and u would have to order over the phone...theres more info back on NYCM on the big header writeup...their quite expensive but u can get lucky and find a used set like i did =)

i personally was just gonna cop the OBX setup and call it a day. Cattmans are good but their like more than 2x the price.

according to the installer fitment was a real bitch. I guess the problem lies in the fact that the lower header and y pipe are a 1 piece, whereas the old ones were seperate. Everything came together nicely though, and the gains are pretty nice. Im really a fan of the mid-end, since i very rarely get up top in rush hour lol.

Cattman headers + FastCat + Fujitsubo 2.5" ID piping, substantial gain with the headers vs the original STILLEN Y Pipe and factory catalytic convertor.
The fitment is very illogical from when my guys installed it on my car. Poorly aligned bolt holes on flanges, and needed to be openned up cause once they put my factory cross member back made contact, and rear motor mount had to be forced in which ended up in a damaged rear engine mount. The oxygen sensors bungs are all illogically placed, which required my guys to have three bungs added for my rear oxygen sensors per bank and one for my AEM wideband.
The gains after I drove the car were absolutely substantial, worth the $1100 including shipping price and $650 in labor costs including removing my rotted STILLEN Y Pipe and my manifolds. The rear engine mount cost me an additional $50 for my deductible which was covered under my extended warranty.
