Alright, here's the deal...I've been reading up on exhaust and header threads, but I haven't really been able to answer one of my main questions. I'm also trying to watch the Detroit Lions game (worst goddamn team in sports), so I am taking a shortcut with this possibly-repetitive thread...here goes anyway...

I really am looking at either the Magnaflow or the GMPP exhausts as well as the Pacesetter Header. My question is, how compatible would the systems be with each other? Is there lots of cutting and welding involved, or could I do this myself? Thanks for any feedback.

they dont replace the downpipe, they just bolt to the flange in the middle of the car(pretty sure) so dont forget about buying a downpipe from somewhere(cobalt-addiction has a good one)

everyone says pass the pacesetter, it requires some cutting and stuff. i've heard the best bet for us is to buy the gmpp extrude/honed header.

 

ZZP Has a combo that fits. THe pacesetter you have to cut your downpipe and weld it on to the downpipe. I also think the raiders win the worst team award

So you think I'd be better off with something like that? I wish shipping wasn't so much for the Corsa exhaust on this site, pain in the ass...

So this header, new downpipe, and then the catback exhaust of my choosing? I'm horrible at welding and cutting, so again, would I have to enlist the help of a professional?

 

The zzp or intense headers should give you better gains then the gmpp one. They also bolt right up to the downpipe so there is no welding. I know modernperformance.com sells the maganflow for like 479 shipped.

 

i think this is the best 2.2 header thread yet, it answered my questions. thanks Allshot

 

No problem man. Just always make sure you call them and make sure they fit correctly on the 2.2.

 

Allshot - Your ZZP downpipe and header work well then? How do you like your Magnaflow? Thanks a lot for the links and the feedback.

 

I have the gmpp exahust and i love it but its all personal preferance....i think im gonna go with the extrude and hone header b/c its the most compatable with my exhaust and prob a ca down pipe
