I have a stock (only mod is the ebay intake) '05 base 2.2...was just wondering if the SS/SC header and I guess all the rest of the exhaust would be a good upgrade (im assuming I can get this stuff pretty cheap?) in combo with my new intake?

also... would the dash cluster from the SS/SC fit and work as easily as that with the white gauges from the 2.4? (apparently the 2.4 white face ones just swap right in)

I'm sure these have been asked before...please...don't hurt me

 

Yes the entire exhaust will swap to your car and fit just fine. The gauge cluster should work as well seeing how the 2.4's did. Check out the sticky for 2.0 to 2.2 parts. It gives you a good idea what you can put on your 2.2 from the lsj.
