i looking to finish my bolt ons and dont have the money to buy an expensive header/dp right now and was wondering how you guys feel about putting the stock one from the ss/sc on the 2.2l? if anyone has done this before, the gains would be ideal to know

 

pretty sure in 2007 the 2.2's had the same exhaust manifold and downpipe as the lsj

 

LSJ manifold is diff but same port sizes...down pipe is bigger on LSJ...dont waste your time like i did im 07 as well

 

alright so its not worth it. thanks guys

 

I believe that it's been discussed on here that the 07 2.2's DP LOOKS similar to the LSJ in that its rounded not D shaped, but its still not as wide and free flowing as the LSJ.

 

have you looked into OBX? i love the price.. they're $260 shipped for header/DP combo and have solid reviews from members.

so i'd say save your moneyif you're working that should take you 2 weeks at most considering other expenses.

 

the 07 l61 and lsj manifold are very much the same, but the oxygen sensor on the l61 is in the downpipe, not the manifold like the lsj. but the lsj downpipe is a huge difference then the l61. so if you want the lsj downpipe, you need to swap manifolds.

i have done a full lsj exhaust swap on my 07, and its worth it for the price. my car pulls in every gear, and doesnt flatten out at high rpms. with the 2.4 intake manifold, i see lots of good. you may not notice too much after doing the swap, but it does help. you cant beat it for the price you pay. you could buy a full lsj exhaust cheaper or same price as a new header which wont do much without a better exhaust to back it up.
