i was thinking about getting headers because i later plan to get an magnaflow exhaust.
whats good out there

is pacesetter any good? or what about hahn

i don't think i need a downpipe because im not boosted or anything like that

 

i didnt know that we had headers.....haha jk man just busting ur ballls i got vibrant header/dp combo on mine i love it great quility. i hear hahn is good but u pay out the ass for it

 

yeah.
does vibrant just sell headers. with out the downpipe
because i saw they were like 700 while pacesetters were like 155

not getting a downpipe? a downpipe is one of the single best bang for the buck parts for us 2.2s. our downpipe has two count em two cats on them and they are super restrictive. if you dont have enough for both i would drop the header and just get the downpipe. boosted or not, downpipe is what you want. id go with a zzp header downpipe combo and vibrant is also good.

yeah i went on zzp but i couldnt figure out what i needed to order.

thats not even bad

how much hp will i get from that?

ahh its not catted.
id prolly want a cat on my dp right

 

Thats up to you if you want one or not.

 

Only thing about no cat is I believe most places wont pass it for its inspection, however you could install a high flow cat without a problem, or you could gut yours, but ive heard alot of shops wont install them, so youd have to know someone who can weld it in for you.

 

yeah id want a cat

 

He has an LS,and I have an 07 LS 2.2 will this same stuff work for me too or do I need 2.2 specific parts? I can get a 2.2 pacesetter header,will the downpipe you posted work for my 2.2 and then a tsudo catback exhaust?

 

l61, le5, lsj, lap all have the same header/dp design, and are all interchargebale...unless u have SAI

 

yeah i have an sai and 07's have em too......

 

I rarely see the Racing Solution header as a suggestion, they are $199, and are a direct bolt on. In fact the heat shield with a little massaging fits on via 2 of the 3 bolts.

These look a bargain when compared to the Pace Setter.

I say this only because I hear that Pace Setter is a cut to fit and weld on header.
Also that some have welds break and leak issues.

I want something that is install and forget.

 

Actually there is one cat and a resonator. I been under mine putting my header on. a resonator is just like another muffler, you can pay an exhaust shop 20 bucks to have it removed. i have a pacesetter, it is a direct bolt on and you dont have to weld. but i did weld mine.

 

A good complete QUALITY 100% bolt on system is the Vibrant header/downpipe/highflow cat:

Pacesetter is good for the $, it just is not 100% bolt on and does not replace as much as the Vibrant kit.

 

I actually just bought this combo from a member on here the other day...I paid $200 shipped for both and they were just sitting in his garage for the last 4 months or so...never installed...I'm so excited...can't wait to get them...Wombat is the person I got them from.

Kind of wish it had a cat, but oh well...for what I paid, I can deal with it...and if I don't like the sound, I can always have a shop add one.

Can't wait to get my full exhaust installed...this setup with an LSJ cat-back (only paid $45 for this locally...full exhaust for the price of a Tsudo...what do you think about that? LOL)...going for a fairly quiet sounding setup...don't care for loud exhausts on 4 cyl. cars anymore (my own cars that is...others I will listen to, just can't stand the sound while cruising especially on long trips).

 

yeah i have the SAI aaron

 

Oh, I dont think ANY manufacture offers a header that works with SAI.

You may want to get it disabled by a tune so you can remove it?

 

^That's the only option right now...

I'm lucky...my 07 LS doesn't have SAI.

 

^ Yeah +1 on that man,but Im in florida so thats part of the reason why I dont have SAI.

 

i have the pacesetter and magnaflow exhaust, and i like it. add a 2.4 mani and she goes pretty good

 

ah, alright
yeah i dont want to **** around with tunes and codes and all that. because i have no clue how they work or any of that

 

ok im jacking this thread...

with the vibrant header dp how much power do you gain?

also will it bolt on to the gmpp catback with no issues? come with the gaskets?

 

^Search for the answers...yes, you'll be fine with fitment...I believe it has gaskets, but I've never seen it written on TTR or OTT or any other site that they are included...also, not sure about the power...expect similar gains from all header/dp combos...the powerband and exact amount of power will differ slightly, but overall, they are all pretty close.
