If I were to get the Armor coated one that requires a bit of welding, what downpipe will work with this header?

 

I think the ZZP downpipe would work. Hopefuly someone can confirm or deny that.

 

I sure hope so becuase I wanna buy the zzp downpipe.

 

Bumpity bump

 

pacesetter's is made to work with the stock cat , you are required to cut the stock pipe at the weld on the cat case , which should open the cat to 3" , stock pipe is 2 3/4"

 

So I cant use an aftermarket downpipe with this header?

 

pacesetters header is longer than a header that replaces the stock manifold

so you would have to have a shop custom make you a down pipe , or modify 1 that is out there

 

You dont need one, the pacesetter is a 3"

With the pacesetter header you get both the header and the downpipe, which connects to the stock exhuast just before the cat converter. Just like Eric stated.

 

well how abou the 2.4.......

 

2.4 has no ETA yet, the 2.0 is due out about August 15th but there is no estimated date yet on the 2.4L VVT.

 

Ok, so will it mount to my magnaflow catback?

 

No, the cat back (Magnaflow) connects after the cat converter. The header connects just before the cat converter. So if you would do the pacesetter header and magnaflow cat back, you will still have the stock cat converter in place. This is done due to emissions.

man this is starting to suck.

 

Ok I did some thinking. What if I get the pacesetter, install a testpipe where the cat is supposed to be and use the 2.5 flange from the stock cat and weld it to the end of the test pipe so I can still use my magnaflow? Then weld the end of the header to the other end of the test pipe.

That sounds like it would work.

 

That would be a way to do it.

 

You think that would work very well? If so, you guys are getting another sale from me hehe.
