CA header, feels slower?

maybe it's all in my head, but I installed my CA header and it feels slower. I have no exhaust leaks and everythings tight. maybe it's all in my head but I could swear it feels a decent amount slower. Anyone else notice this? Mods are: 2.85 pulley, OTTP can tune, #60s, CA header, OTTP H/E, injen intake, borla cat back

I have the CA V1, when I picked it up it made a horrible noise, and felt a little slower.

I took it back and said this sound sucks, please fix it, turns out I had a exhaust leak, thats fixed now, and the header works fine for me.

i figured, wheres your power band at? do long tubes produce more low end power? if so, I'm switching to those, I don't like this one at all. any one have dyno results, before and after? Or quarter mile times? I'd be interested to see.

i have the pacesetter which is more a midlength but i think longer tube is more high end iirc

Do you have a stock downpipe? There kinda restrictive, might want to change it, then see how it feels.

Before I bought the CA I remember seeing one thread like this one, saying almost the same thing.

I honestly, dont think a header can cause hp loss though, many people have this header with no problems like this.
