Interchangeability question
That thread has a post saying all exhaust parts are interchangeable.... Why then are aftermarket ones designed to fit supercharged models nd then for 2.2 engines. I wanna know... Can I put LSJ headers on, keep the l61 down pipe, nd would I get the supercharged or non supercharged SARS catback? (S/c kit goin on in spring)

Being that I am a NA L61 and have had both a 2.2 and a 2.0 downpipe I strongly recommend, if your gonna take the time to change your header change the dam downpipe. That will make just as much of a differance.

From expierence of Supercharging my car about a week ago, dont cheap out on stuff. I didnt at all, and im glad i didnt. Also before you start make sure you have every single bolt, gasket and sensors that you need. Also look for Gene's S/C build and HunterKills S/C build. Read both of these posts before you attempt it.

Yeah I read both of those threads, Gene's actually only about an hour from me, but hasn't been on here for a while. I was thinking of calling that company he works for but idw seem like a stalker... So you're saying I NEED the wideband, in order to know if I'm running to lean or rich, but could whoever tunes my car see this?

whoever tunes you might have a remote wideband that goes into your exhaust pipe. but to be honest, i've found myself in positions where i'm running too lean and i wouldn't have known unless i had my wideband. you can very easily blow up your engine if you don't see your AFR's are out of whack. if you want to save yourself $150 and have the potential to blow your engine and cost you thousands, that's your choice, but if you already have the kit, 150 isn't much at all.

Lol thank u for puttin it that way BankerBalt. I was gonna try to do ss body parts too, but I guess it's best to finish one thing comletely and then move onto the next, that being said... would the zzp downpipe make my car really loud, cuz thats something I wouldn't want. The kit comes with literally everything, even the windshield washer conversion. I just need the bigger pulley, nd to double check bolts. Nd hoses that were cut but I'm not worried about that too much. And my exhaust manifold question, should I ask for the lsjs orrr??
