So I bought headers for my 2.2 months ago but finally found someone to put them on and when he goes to do it he says there is no egr port on then so they can't go on my car. Do I need to buy new headers now? Or is there a way around this??? Please help!!

 

Header ***

 

Well it seams as if you got ripped off, if you bought some headers for your 2.2 and you only received a single header. Its a single bank so its a header not headers.

Is a EGR required in your state?

 

I believe no Ecotec engine came with an EGR (verified by Google) so whoever is putting in your header is mistaken. But you may have this: https://www.cobaltss.net/forums/2-2l...88/#post628625

 

EGR and SAI same concept (lower exhaust emissions by different methods)

 

its not the same concept, exhaust gas re-circulation is completely different from secondary air injection. Yes they both lower exhaust emissions, but they work on entirely different principles.

 

Headers, header..whatever. Idk if it's required or not. I live in pa. And mine is a 2007. But will what I bought work for my car or do I need one that has the egr port?

 

what kind of header is that? brand?

 

Looks like eBay china special

 

Its the same concept of lowering exhaust emissions, not the same method.

 

My car is equipped with egr btw

 

Yeah I got it from ebay, not really sure of the brand

 

If its a cobalt, no it does not have an egr. Its SAI, click the link a few posts up

 

Ok well the SAI would explain why after I put on my intake I have this piece hanging around doing nothing. Which is also another concern of mine. Should I have that piece plugged or filtered. But still going back to my original question. Can I use my header that I bought for my car

 

what year is your car? there were several different style SAI for different years

 

2007

 

This is the extra piece that's hanging by my cai

 

mmmm california emissions

 

yeah it wont work unless you tune it out and remove the whole SAI

 

What would happen if I removed it?

 

It's the same header badmab sells and claims to be theirs.

It's a ching ching chong header.

You would be better off with a ported stock manifold.

 

You can easily remove it but you'll need to program your ECU in order to turn off the CEL. If PA is like AZ you won't pass emissions until you do that.

 

Not sure of the whole state but I know in my county they don't run emissions tests

 

How do I take it off?
