    soo I installed the new headers and threw a check engine light. I have no idea how it could do it being that my crack headers didnt event throw it off. I checked the code and it said it was the front 02 sensor. Also my car seems to be laggy, like its not getting enough fuel and can't rev pass 5k at times.

    yeah...you must have messed up the front 02 when you were hanging the exhaust from it...get a new one, then end.

    ^^was that true? The header is heavy! Dangling the OEM header using the O2 sensor wire is a no-no.

    well if you've ever removed headers before from a n/a subaru, there is no 02 sensor on it. Its just the headers, simply unbolt, remove, install new ones. It only dangled abit when i removed the part of the headers where it connects to the head, then it dangled abit with the cats...that could've done it but oh wells...time for a new one i guess if i can' t find any other ways around it.

    check to see if the wires have pulled out of the plug/connector like mine.
