hey look another guy asking about headers

Hey y'all I'm finally getting to spend some of my hard earned money on mods for my 2.4. I was originally going to go with a turbo and call it a day for a while. I am now going N/A no questioned asked. I just ordered an Injen CAI, and have a Tsudo Cat back exhaust. I've had my eye on many different headers. will the Vibrant headers fit the 2.4 with out an modifications and does it come with a cat?

Vibrant is a bit big (3" collector) for a N/A 2.4SS IMO.

I'd look into either the CA, Hahn, or ZZP.

much appreciated

what measurments should everything for the zzp medium header be I was at a site where they sold them and I got kind of confused. Keep in mind I havent looked at a car in almost a year due to me being in Iraq.

As soon as I'm able to I will post some pics and vids of my car which means after I get home from the sand box and after I get my right quarter panel fixed (some ******* in my company dented it with his g6,) my Tenzo R springs put on and my 18" Kobe Envy's put on. Expect pics and a vid no later than late may. the tsudo cat back is a great system it's quiet at Idle but will roar when you give it hell.

Expensive, alot of downtime for a daily driver (like me), likely worse gas mileage, tuning is a bitch to find alot of places..........need I continue?

Well I managed!

It took a three day weekend to install the entire kit.

Mileage is about the same really.

Tuning I am working with a guy on to go one up over what the kit had to offer.

Would also lead to less work to install the initial kit as well!
