Looking for a good header.

I was poking around some forums to look for a affordable header and found a lot of miniacs with the OBX catless header. And by the way they are explaining it they are running the header without the cat, Putting a piece of pipe where the cat should be then putting it all together. Wouldnt it throw codes and screw up your engine without a cat ? I have an Alta Sportone catbak and it sounds nice and all but I want a bit more grumpy pissed off sound from the exaust note , without breaking the bank like with the Megan header 800+ bucks is WAY too much ... A 200 dollar OBX looks like a good
choice for me now. Any help would be appreciated THX.............

Simple. Avoid all the SES lights with an OBX from Helix with the stock cat already welded on for $300.
