Ive ordered the 4-2-1 headers threw slickcar.com and was wondering if I can get info on going about this?.. I just want it to sound nice with a little bit more horsepower but I don't have money to put a whole new exhaust system on around this time. I was wondering if it will fit my stock exhaust?. Thanx for any advice and help can get.

ANY BUYING/SELLING IN THIS FORUM WILL RESULT IN AN INSTANT BAN!
Read the rules: http://www.cb7tuner.com/vbb/showthread.php?t=43956
Myself, and the other mods have been very nice and lenient with the rules. We have been deleting threads, and giving out warnings. Some members didn't get the clue and re-posted over and over... Now ANY member buying or selling in this section will be banned... No IF's AND's or BUT's.

Beginner Forum Rules - EVERYBODY read! (old and new members alike!)
Beginners start here. Once you have 30 worthwhile posts (off topic doesn't count) you may post outside of the Beginner forums. Any "whoring" (posting simply to raise your post count) will return your count to 0, or result in a ban.
These are the rules. Read them. Live by them.
1) Absolutely NO flaming! "Flaming" is an outright attack on a member. ALL questions are encouraged to be asked here, no matter how basic. Members with over 30 posts will be subject to a ONE WEEK ban if caught flaming in this forum (and yes, moderators can read deleted posts). Members with under 30 posts will be subject to a ONE DAY ban.
2) Use appropriate language. Racial or sexual slurs will not be tolerated. A ban will be issued at the discretion of the cb7tuner.com staff.
3) No items may be sold in the Beginner forums. Any "for sale" threads will be deleted.
4) Temporarily banned members will be PERMANTLY banned if they are found posting on another account.
The rules can and will be added to. Any updates will be marked in the title.
The rules for the overall forum can be found here:

4-2-1 headers question?

Header. You only have one.
It depends on your goals. Really, the only header that makes any real power on the F22A is the Bisimoto header, and that's pricey (and is known to have fitment issues.) Adding a larger collector to a cheap header can result in some gains, but that ends up being fairly expensive as well.
As for exhaust, any quality brand would work well. You have to decide if you want maximum performance (usually loud), or a nice sound (quieter, but you sacrifice some power.) A'PEXi makes very good systems, as do RS*R and GReddy.

I would hope a generic header with a 2.5" collector would not be as much as a bisi header. This is a generic header (or I should say downpipe) with a piece of 2.5" pipe crimped and welded on. Granted I had a friend tig weld it on for free, but I can't see an exhaust shop charging that much. I honestly don't have a clue on what brand the header is though (was told it is an OBX header) but it looks to be the same as all the other generic stainless headers out there.

I ran a generic eBay piece with a 2.5" collector mod like the one above for years. Never cracked or leaked on me, and made good power with it too. Doubt I had $200 invested in the whole thing including labor. Like ^ that guy said though, you'll need a full exhaust and other supporting mods with it if you expect any gains.
