Ok guys, here's my problem. I have a huge exhaust leak/crack coming from my header/manifold. The noise level is just getting ridiculous. I believe it is a pacemaker header coming down to an old downpipe which is in pretty bad shape as well. Long story short, I'm sick of having problems with my exhaust so i just want to get a new header and downpipe. I'm currently running stage 2 on my car. If i was to put in a stock header with any aftermarket downpipe with converter could i be looking at any problems in the future? Would that be a safe setup? I don't know much about how this could affect airflow and etc and I don't care about losing any hp. The car just sounds terrible and I don't want to do any more welds or temporary fixes. What should I do?!! Help!!

 

Could it be the flexpipe? Mine sounded like total **** at some point but the timing was good, zzp had a sale
You could either get headers from ZZP if cash is not a issue, they are not cheap. But you know at least that it will fit perfectly. Or maybe just a 3" downpipe? And if later on you want a set of headers you could get the madbad shorty headers, they're pretty cheap and all the reviews are good!

 

I'm pretty sure it's a combination of both, the set up is very old and ever since I bought the car with this exhaust set up I've had problems with leaks and what not. But thanks I'll definetly check out that badbad header! I have a 3" pipes so i think i might go for something like that.
