New Header..Info Plz.

[lilsweets3138]

Hi all..well I want to get rid of the stock header and replace it but before I do I need a little information first. My car is a 1997 Cavalier LS 2.2L, what kind of header should I be looking for including any other parts I might need to go along with it. And some good websites would be great.


Also I was reading somewhere that putting an aftermarket header is illegal and would not pass emissions test..is this true? Beacause If it is I need to know before I go spending some mula.
Thanx

headers dont increase/reduce emmisions, catylic converters do, as long as your new header has a sensor port just like your current one does, you will have some place to put that sensor and all should be fine as far as the law is concerned

Word of advice... Do not buy ebay brand exhaust manifolds. Their stainless or chrome finish is really poor and 90% of the time their quality is shit.

Look for a pacesetter armor coated header. If you find a pacesetter brand on ebay then snag it up if you can.

On the subject Cody, is OBX a good brand? I see their products on eBay....(header, etc.)...always wondered that...

they're a pacesetter knock off company in stainless. I've heard of people using their products and are an Ok product.
