Does anyone have this header?

I was looking around on ebay and found this header and was wondering if anyone has it. What do you guys think of it? Would it be worth buying?

not this model, youd have to get a custom downpipe made

OBX makes a cheap header and downpipe thats catless for around 220 shipped

You would have much better luck with the Vibrant header/downpipe/high flow cat:

You get what you pay for... Quality is Vibrant...

this is true, considering your going to buy it for 220 pay somebody to put it on, modifiy it, then youll get sick of it pay somebody to take it off, sell it for practicly nothing, then buy the vibrant lol

I would love to have the vibrant setup but I cant afford it. I also dont feel its worth the money for an ls.

Would the pacesetter bolt up to the lsj dp?

No, you wont get any header kit to be a "bolt up" for that price range...

You will need to cut your current downpipe and clamp or weld on the pacesetter downpipe, included in the kit.

I tack welded pacesetters on my 07 LT, with a 3 inch downpipe and 2.5 pipes running out to the exhaust. I'm impressed with the results.

hahaha hes right i have pacesetter header stock dp cut and welded and the catback pacesetter which also got welded together due to constant leaks at the dp flange just buy the vibrant i spent around $400 for the header and catback and about 3-4 hours worth of work to get everything properly installed with no leaks and a year later im looking into the vibrant header/dp combo but havnt figured out what catback i want yet....hmmmf so ill actually be out around $1500-$2000 depending on what i decide because i decided to skimp out....do it right the first time it pays off...

There are actually quite a few shorty headers that bolt right on the LSJ DP on the market, Hahn(not really cheap), ZZP, Shiny Hiny, etc........

You can start by googling it

It is the CA V1 header.
