Need Help With Header
#1
I took off my stock exhaust manifold and the cats. I noticed my header+presilencer is shorter than the stock stuff (previously had been used in a custom application). Also, the presilencer bolts were closer together than stock.
Anyway, exhaust guy cuts header off where it connects to presilencer, tells me to go ahead and put that on my car, and drive back there with just the header on. Then he'll rig up the presilencer to fit.
Additionally, he says he will need to eliminate the tube that went to the main cat. Do I need this to activate the 2ndary ports? Or does the backpressure activate the ports some other way?
I would really like to keep my secondary ports functional.

Sorry, I'm no help with this.. but, why'd the guy cut off a piece of the header?
he does a lot of [illegal] exhaust stuff, so he seems to know what he's doing, I just can't understand all the words that come out of his mouth

so he could create a sleeve (?) to affix it to the presilencer (?)
