Default HELP! New header installed - car is running strange

Hey guys,

I have a 2001 TA WS6. I had an SLP cat back originally and just installed TSP catted y and TSP headers today.

My car is bogging out in low rpms and feels like a large loss of power.

Also, the cat on the passenger side is glowing purple however the driver side does not.


Any help would be greatly appreciated,


Matt

Check your o2 extenders. I had a set that the wiring didn't match up. Two wires were crossed. Car ran like crap.

no missfires? just running poorly? If it ran good prior i would also recommend checking the O2 ext. or o2 to make sure you didnt damage. Eitherway i would imagine you should have a check engine light. Check codes and let us know
