Bad Mab header issues

I purchased a header from bad news racing, and after checking my purchase on their website i bought the one for the lsj engine rather than the 2.2, oops. Will it still bolt up to a 2.2 lap or am i screwed and have to sell this one and buy a correct fitting header?

Nope....

Same bolt pattern.

From every Badmab header I've seen they all looked the same.

Maybe contact Brad at Badmab and ask him if there is a difference. Regardless it will still bolt up.

Nice.

I used to have a Badmab header. It's a great header for the money!

Enjoy

Brad.

They don't have a "sound".... the muffler and resonators take care of that

As for build quality, they are hit or miss.

I had one on my car, and it worked great. It had nice welds, leak free flanges, and a clean collector area.
