Default headers installed!

Got the lt's iand o/r h-pipe nstalled havent really got on it but i could feel the power ready 2 be unleashed.
Besides from my cel been on, i feel pressure when im at a stop light on the brake, and the idle is no long wut it use to be low and quiet, now it more rumbling and a bit higher. Finally, when i was turning intoa parking spacethe steering wheel got rough on me as i was coasting in.Is this normal or their are problems?

check the power steering level when your car is off after a min or so. You may just need more fluid.

The headers are most likely rubbing on the steering shaft

The headers are probably rubbing the bolts on the steering shaft... You just need to grind it down a little bit... Then you should be fine.

Or you can just disconnect the motor mounts jack up the engine like 1/2 inch and shim them with about 1/4" of fender washers. it worked for me
