Has anyone every tried a header from Ebay? Please don't bash the idea. Be civil in your discussion please.

I'm looking at one of these:

No name Header

OR

Pacesetter Header

I just want something to get me by, so I can get terrifica tuned and the upgrade to a better quality header in a year or so.

 

"no name" doesn't look like it will fit stock DP, and iv heard the pacesetter was also a PIA to get to fit. just get a used LSj header. i have one...

 

neither. down pipe mods are a must with these 2, dont get me wrong the pacesetter flows well but go with a complete bolt on ont like C/A V2

 

07-08 2.2's use the same header as the LSJ. So he doesnt need one.

 

I kinda thought so

 

i would like to claridy Htown you so soooooo very very wrong sir...i have an 07 2.2 and got a LSJ downpipe....there is a big difference in the size...LSJ header man they rock!

 

... who said anything about a downpipe??? please claridy your post a little furdther :-/

 

If you get the pacesetter, support a vender on this forum, we will price match that pacesetter header... (as long as it is in stock)

 

neither, both are a waste of money

 

A quality header like the vibrant header/downpipe/high flow cat would be my personal choice. It is stainless and a much better system. Why buy 1 now and buy a better one later? Get the best now and save in the long run.

 

what he said haha, and those are good choices, not to argue or anything, but my fav and personal exhaust system of choice is clear image

 

i run the pacesetter on mine, and its a nice header, i say pacesetter, dont get the chinabay one, i dont trust that vendor, if your gunna go cheap, get the OBX one, its the only ebay brand header to be proven to work for years.<<by me of course :p i ran it 3months, my friend is running still to this day w/no issues, but like i said if you have to pick, get the pacesetter from aaron, they are havng a sale on them too...




install is simple, take the dp off, cut right at the cat weld, take it toa shop to weld on the new flange, and than go back and install, remmeber, cut it right at the welds on the top of the cat

 

sorry to clairfy the the 07's header is smaller than the LSJ header they are not the same...or for me atlesat they werent...i have some comparison pictures somewhere.....

 

The pacesetter is a good header for a budget price,I have been running the pacesetter header for a almost a year now,with no issues.Only major problem is,finding the right downpipe and install is a pain in the ass.

 

LSJ heaer.....ported like mine = )

 

my install was fine, took me 2hrs to do the entire swap including lunch its so easy to mod the stock DP, cut right at the cat, weld the new flange and bam, u have your downpipe, i used the LSJ one bc the stock is way to small

 

Are you an Auto or Manual? Somebody told me that LSJ downpipe's dont work with auto's.

 

im a 5spd, the DP will work, but i mean ur cutting it anyway to bolt to the header, so it doesnt matter, ur cutting off the part they say dont fit

 

im auto and i have the LSJ downpipe.......fit fine for me im on 07...

 

mine fits but the cat hits the sway bar.

so yeah technically mine fits too. cat's just too big.

 

racingsolutions,com have a good header. its basically the CA V2 header for 200 bucks.

 

This would have you covered unless you have a turbo of course:

Guaranteed for life so you wouldn't have anything to loose. I have not seen one for any less that is stainless. And I know wtpcobaltss bought one and liked it.

 

Does that bolt into the stock dp?

 

Yes. No welding required unlike some of the others.

 

I like how they say pre 07 is out of stock, and post 07 isn't, we all use the same header 05-09 2.2's use the same header, only exception is the sai models...
