I need a header and this one looks awesome and for a great price what do you guys think? Check it out http://www.racingsolution.com/showpa...on=DisplayPart

 

hmmmm... i dont actually believe iv seen that one before.

 

i ve heard a couple of good comments here and there about this header

 

should fit all ecotec not just 2.0 and 2.4

 

I know I haven't either, it looks pretty nice I'm thinking about getting it

 

hmm, i am weary.

 

Looks exactly like the cobalt addiction header.....

ca


racing solutions


you be the judge

 

im looking at it now. looks different. how cyl 3 and 4 go are dif

 

i wouldnt want it.. it looks like on the flange part for the downpipe theres a separation between the inside and outside metals..

 

they are both shiny ...
the way the primaries run are different.

the flanges are somewhat alike, but the collector on the ca seems to assembled better.

 

I see what you mean now....but the build quality looks the same...

 

Im pretty sure thats the TOG header...

 

Ive seen that before, theres a guy here and on ecotecforum thats got one in his Balt, think he actually did a how to.....pretty sure its Chaiwanese crap. LOL But its jcheap and shiny

 

better off getting the CIA midlength header. You can pick it up for $206.75. Midlength will be better than a shorty anyways.

 

good looking one thats for sure

 

It won't fit the 2.2 because of the coolant line clearance issue. They have one for the 2.2 though.

I have the 2.2 one on my car. I can honestly say that this is a quality header! all the welds are beautiful!

Here is a review I wrote up on it. And a bunch of pics with it installed.

Here is a how-to i made for installing it.

i think its a good header but doesnt quite look like a performance one cuz the openings on the gasket look just like the stock ones, but thats just me

 

get this one. JBody Vortex. i have it and its the ****, it came down in price and its well worth the money.

 

I think the first one is a CA V1 header. CA sells their V2 header on ebay for $215 shipped.

They are very nice.





That is a ZZP dp just incase anyone is wondering.

 

To stevesblack06: what the hell!? whats the advantage to all those twisties?

 

I bought cheepie headers before.

For my full size k2500

stainless, haven't leaked yet and have survived 3 yrs of snow plowing with no salt rot.

I say go for it!

 

They look similar cause. They are CA sold the design of the V1 header to racing solutions that's why it says 2.0 and 2.4 cause of the whole coolant pipe clearence problem

 

equal length improves powerband

 

^thats interesting. I would just assume shorter length would be better. Good to know though

 

agreed... they are equal length 1 3/4" primaries and 3" collector. my exhaust temps believe it or not went down after the install, but i did add a 3inch gutted cat dp aswell. well worth the money IMO
