just bought a 2.0 ss stock header for my 2.2 .. as i was taking it off i noticed my stock 2.2 header looks identical to the 2.0. I thought it was suppose to be an upgrade for my car..looks the same to me..not wider or more bored out.. any body no how this is an upgrade or how im wrong hopefully??

 

you have an 07, which has the same manifold as the 2.4 and 2.0

Best advice would be to buy a real header.

 

i have an 06

and ive heard from a bunch of ppl, and not just on this forum, that it is an upgrade for my 06 lt

 

Your 06 is much more restrictive than that 2.0 header. What I did was I took a dremel and ported it as much as possible, gave it a nice bore and it works nicely. My 07 header is similar than the 2.0/2.4 but they are not the same. Even to the 07, it's a slight upgrade.

I just hope you didn't pay too much for it. It's not a gain of more than 1-2 hp at most.

 

just $60

but thnks for the info bro..good looks

 

have it bored and or honed and then stick it on...i would have just gotten an aftermarket - my .02

 

and u r saying that it is def an upgrade?
and when i tryied to bore it out with my dremel after like 5 secs my dremel would stop bc of overheating.. it was so annoying that i just stopped.. u have the same problem by ne chance ..if not.. u use any techniques when u bored it out?

how much more power would i get from an aftermarket one ..and i no its not gonna be that much from either of them

 

Haha, I'm not going to lie, it was a pain in the ass. Took me several hours with a snake bending extension and a very nice dremel to get it done. Be sure you wear a mask too, don't want to breathe in metal particles like I did.
