        What you guys think that would cause this? I would like to know because I want to put a turbo on my car with 42.5 injectors. I don't what to spend hundreds on filling up my tank all the time.

          Just installing headers wouldn't cause the problem you having. Something else is going on......or you've been exercising that heavy foot of yours more now than before the header install.

                If you didn't hook the egr back up, that can cause a small decrease in gas mileage.

                  There would be an SES light for it not being hooked up if that was the case. So I guess it would be helpful if he said if there was a SES light or not....is there one bigralph?

                    No SES light, but put a Casper connector to my cat. Maybe that is preventing to read the SES. I been having problems with misfire lately. I'm going to the shop and they are going to fix the problem.
