Has anyone put on one of these oddball vortex designed headers on their 2.2?

They give some big claims on horsepower gains with their exhaust/ header combo, over 30hp.

I am tempted to get one of these.
But, why would someone put on a 3 inch exhaust onto a 2.2?

Is this for the 2.0 only or is the header good for the 2.2 and 2.0 but the exhaust is meant for the 2.0, or what???

 

i dk i dont c the point on putting it on a 2.2 it seems "unnecessary"

 

its made for both engines, the stock ss/sc manifold is a good upgrade for the 2.2 from 2005-2006, the 2007 came with the same exhaust manifold. unless you have SAI. it would be a good upgrade for a 2.2 if you were planning on supercharging it

 

I seriously considered it, but then I woke up and realized I was poor and had a 2.2. The 1 7/8" primaries are way too big for an N/A 2.2. You're going to have zero low end torque.

 

i can hear it now the sounds of jbp bashing

 

JBP sucks ballz, blah blah, header is to xxxxx primaries are too xxxxx its too xxxx to install.


Get a CIA or ZZP

 

get a vibrant i love it

 

I always forget about them..... and they are Chiwanese rumor has it.

 

the header makes the car sound like a boxer engine but that is because the way the flow of primaries are layed out..

its layed out wrong if you ask me but a great piece of welding there non the less

 

more than half the **** in this country was made in china or taiwan :p u ever see armagedon :p

"american components, russian components, they are ALL MADE IN TAIWAN!"

that part never gets old

 

I was also thinking about either getting this header and a CA downpipe or getting the vibrant 3" combo...I want to see what ppl think about the jbp b/c all i seen so far was bad stuff

 

dont go 3 inch unless upushing 250+whp...2.5 is the max you should go, get urself a nice header/dp and a 2.25/2.5 exhaust, depends on what you want...i recommend a full vibrant set up, vibrant header/dp with vibrant exhaust

^^exhaust

 

That thing looks weird. I would just get a turbo kit from hahn for the 2.2

 

vibrant heads are so pricey. someones got this on there 2.2 and it sounds ****** DIRTY

 

i got it on my 2.2 and it sounds f'n awesome, love the thing, and it cost for quality...

 

Weapon r header sounds awesome too.

 

weapon r require more than what most want to do to install

 

like what?

 

Might be a good header if you go stage super holy ****!!!!

 

I installed one on a redline and it was easy.

 

How was fitment? has it burnt any of the sound deadening on the firewall? I want one for my redline but I'm scared it's going to be to close to the firewall.

 

dropping the subframe

I had to cut away at some of the firewall material. aside from that it fits and theres room to spare.
