I've noticed that on most aftermarket headers it would appear they sell them with a 2 bolt flange rather than the stock 3 bolt flange that is on the stock manifold. These companies also claim that they are bolt-on, and that seems wrong... any suggestions for an affordable header for a guy driving a 2.2, im just so confused

 

Badmab.
BAD-MAB.com

 

That sounds all fine and dandy, but it says they're out of materials to make new ones-_-

 

They shouldn't be out for long

 

yeah, they are my first choice, because of the price and i hear only good reviews on them. hopefully they will be available soon!

 

I ordered mine when they were out last time, the wait was about a month and a half iirc.

 

badnewsracing.net sells them for 160

 

Go baller, get a zzp long tube. Way better then the shorty header I used for like 4 years.

 

will the lsj header work with a zzp downpipe? no fitment issues on the 2.2?

 

Yea but I wouldn't get a lsj header. Not any performance gain. Just go ahead and do it the right way the first time lol.

 

i mean the lsj badmab, what is the difference?

 

If I was to personally do a full exhaust, I would go with a catted zzp longtube, and a zzp 2.5 inch cat-back.

 

If I remember correctly the lsj header has a 02 sensor on the header and one on the downpipe where we have both on the downpipe.

 

the badmab headers are the same for the 2.0 lsj 2.2,2.4

 

Sorry but no they are not. The LSJ's have one sensor on the manifold and one on the downpipe. 2.2's have the sensor on the downpipe.

 

im saying the 2.0 lsj,2.2 and 2.4 can use the same badmab header

 

Yes they can but the LSJ's and the 2.4 have a provision for an O2 sensor on the header and the 2.2 doesn't have one on the header they are both on the downpipe.
