Check out my new header. Its Racing solution new header for the 2.2. Install went smoothly No modifications were required and everything fit perfectly I would recommend this header to anybody with a 2.2 looking for a shorty header.







Look how much of a difference there is from the stock collector


And it meets up with the size of the stock downpipe perfectly!



After the install I felt a pretty decent gain! And no noticeable loss of low end torque!
Now all i need is a LSJ down pipe!

THANKS AGAIN TO RACING SOLUTION!

 

is that the zzp shorty header?

 

Reading > You

 

Lmao!

 

x2!! lmao

 

I like it, how much did it set you back?

 

I wouldnt put prices in this thread. Since they are not a supporting vendor it is likely to get locked. I would pm him the price

 

That works to... good lookin out

 

looks real nice

 

Looks exactly like the CA V2 header

 

get a real downpipe. Lsj is good, but if u have an aftermarket header get a nice donwpipe to keep it flowing.

 

can you also pm me the price please :O)

 

can you also pm me the price please :O) and a link

Mods just delete the link if its inappropriate.

 

ahh looks good, what size primaries are those BTW? 1.5" 1.75"?

 

I didn't measure them, But I'm almost certain they are 1.5

 

correct me if iam wrong but I have a 08 and I want to purchase this along side my cat back exhaust now is it necessary to buy a downpipe to or can I just run header-stock downpipe- cat back exhaust? also everything needed to install comes with it ?

 

You'll be fine with that set up, but you'll benefit more from an aftermarket downpipe. My set up now is, this header, stock DP and corsa sport catback. But I am looking for an LSJ DP to finish off the exhaust. I would go aftermarket but there too damn expensive!

 

thats soo true lol

 

Can the stock heat shield fit back on?
I am not sure how it fits on so I do not know.

I just know extra heat is produced under the hood from shield removal, which may make some of the plastic, and rubber pieces go brittle quicker.

 

As long as you realize it

 

Yeah, it takes a little hand bending and manipulating but 2 of the 3 bolts can be put back on.

Here's a pic with the heat shield over the header

As you can see the one bolt at the bottom will not go back in because the mounting hole was in the stock manifold

Here is a how-to i wrote up for installing the header!

did you notice any difference in the sound ??

 

Yeah its a little deeper, it wasn't too much change. The biggest change in sound is at durring WOT at about 5000 RPM to redline.

I did get a change in the exhaust note however when I installed the LSJ DP. It sounds like a beast now! Its slightly raspy until it warms up though.

 

After you put the header on, did you notice where it shift your powerband too?
