any one out there with a 2.2 and swapped the stock exhaust mani for the lsj one, did it make any noticable difference and was it worth it?

 

yes and yes, get it, it's one of the best mods you can do to a 2.2

 

even if i just do the mani and not the d/p? for now at least...

 

it would be better than nothing... but you'll gain even more when you get a cat-back... the piping on the 2.2 is tiny. See if you can find a stock Sport or SS cat back that someone is getting rid of... it would be good for the 2.2

 

i already got the GMPP Performance cat-back

 

i am bout to do the swap to a 2.0 manifold and downpipe plus i have the 2.4 intake manifold swap waiting to be installed!

 

let me kno how it works out for ya and how u think it helped ur performance...

 

its is a great and cheap upgrade but do the whole system, when I changed mine it was a nice difference imo, dont know if you have seen the difference in the two but its a night and day difference, here are some pics of the two side by side from when I upgraded

 

nice pics...does anyone kno y the stock 2.2 had that D-shape outlet at the collector?

 

im just gonna save and get a header/downpipe combo

 

I had the LSJ dp and mani put on the same day and it made a very nice difference.

 

I want to see numbers from a car with just the intake mod, ss/sc full exhaust system and intake manifold from 2.4, I bet its some good numbers and not to much in the price department. Or if someone has done this and I cant find it please post if for me

 

Wow... nice pics. I bet you'd gain 10hp just by swapping to that mani., downpipe, and a SS cat-back. Amazing the restriction they put on these things... for no reason.

 

of course theres a reason...we drive econo boxes

I have a complete LSJ exhaust I am going to throw on soon in place of my Pacesetter header and 2.5" custom exhaust setup...we'll see how it goes.

 

when you do the swap you should take pics of the pacesetter next to the ss/sc manifold to get a pic of the two side by side

 

so the 2.0 manifold will bolt on no problems?

 

Yes it will I have one on my 2.2

 

did you just install it or did you get new gaskets

 

I did get new gaskets but i really didnt need to. The gaskets are steel and can be reused

 

i have my old lsj manifold....if anyone is looking for one

 

im runnin ss header dp an cat back with a magna flow muffler in place or the stock one. its awesome sounds great an more power

 

i have it, it is awesome with the lsj downpipe too, since it all matches right up to stock exhaust and looks stock at the same time. definately helps and sounds nice

 

how much you want for it

 

anyone got the SS/SC Downpipe for sale?

 

I looked for 2 months before finding a ss/sc downpipe in the classifieds. good luck
