I got my shorty evo sport headers from Adam about a month ago. They just bolt up to the stock cats, they do not trigger any CEL's. Adam is great to work with, I recommend him as well.

Better get headers without Primary Cats they make extra 10-15 HP at the wheels...

Evosport headers do make more than the Renntech headers on average.

About 20-25 hp on the Evosport headers.

doesn't removing the primary cats trigger the check engine light, as well as mess with emissions.

I suspect that without the primarys, the car wont pass emissions tests (mandatory yearly over here).
