Exclamation LTS installed, couple of issues, can someone help

ok heres a list of what im wondering and concerns after i got the ARH lts on

1. oil pressure, before header install it was at 40 during idle, now after lts its at 20-30 idle, any suggestion on what i could be?


2. i hear a small whistling sound on the passenger side, in the engine bay, leak? im not sure cause the car hasnt lost any power, i could also be hearing things, cause i heard that after lts, the engine bay does get little bit louder


3. y pipe hitting the the floor, undeneath the driver side, what can i do besides new motor mounts, anything else?


4. if it is leaking on the passenger side, can a muffler shop torque my bolts down and fix leak, if yes how much would it cost, (guestimate)


plz help

ARH and the Y-pipe bangs? I need to spread the word, maybe everyone will get off the "you get what you pay for" bullshit.

Dude just get a ratchet and a swivel on it and torque all the bolts down your self,Check all the clamps on the exhaust also

And for the banging under the driver side the method that I use is getting steel wool and stuffing it inbetween the floor board and the y pipe(only two spots make contact)
