I'm just worried/wondering about the same thing. Hoping someone can answer this, that's all
great gains on the headers btw!

I don't think you really need to worry about going lean with just cats/test pipes or just a plenum. But when you combine the two I think you may run into some pingage which you don't want.

I believe that the only ones that have problems with the RT cats running lean are those who had an ECU flash prior to adding the cats. This can easily be corrected by a reflash.

Plenum, headers, cats, and exhaust... Zero ping.

We have not seen this directly as most of us here run stock cats, test pipes, or Crawford cats.

Wow. Best gains I've seen for headers. In fact, even better than testpipes.
Lucky you!

yeah, i'll b interested in seein if u get gains from other exhaust mods that should reduce the back pressure. like it was said before, mayb u won't see much if the nismo headers r designed for use with some. we shall see.
