Just wanna know if there are any 05's that are running the Bad Mab header without issue...I tried looking through other threads and couldn't find much info on 05 2.2's with this setup.

The reason I'm asking is I can't get this damn thing to install without coolant leaking from the thermostat(?) housing and I need to know if I'm just an idiot or if this is a known issue.

 

How is changing your header causing a coolant leak at the Thermostat? Unless you yanked one of the heater core hoses off while changing headers......

 

the header is putting pressure on the housing and causing it to leak at the part that meets the crossover pipe *see big ass arrow lol*

 

gl with that dont really know what to tell ya right there except get a new header

 

Thats different from the L61 water pump setup on my cobalt engines. hmm...

 

ninja i ve a 05 saturn

you have to remove or move your downpipe.

 

You don't have the problem I'm mentioning? Are you using the supplied gaskets or the stock ones?

I had to move the downpipe to install the header since I went through the bottom
