I found a KILLER header for my H22!

[djcaz_aom]

Edgar was running 2.5 exhaust on his setup. I'll see if I can get a hold of him tomorrow and post up the details on his setup.

Traction bars will solve the crossmember issue. That or just notch some of the crossmember off. It's no big deal. Cisco had to do it with the Bisimoto header.

Front mounts? Don't really need it. There are tons of turbo guys running without one. That, or make your own. It's not hard.

Doesn't sound like you did much research^^

And its exactly what I said, I didnt want to cut the cross member. I did my research, dont tell me different.

But if you say he wont need a front motor mount, so be it. There was a reason for it...

There also isnt any energy suspension side or rear inserts. Gotta DIY polly or buy some mounts.
I am in no way knocking your find, I just wanna add what you may get yourself into in the near future. If it clears, right on! The camp 1320 wouldnt have cleared mine without cutting into the cross member.

fuck the cat and that suckers gonna be loud

you dont need a front mount and while you're at it, get an esp traction bar, throw a small flex pipe on it and run a 3" all the way back, I would say that would be some nice upgrades

damn that there is some $$$ lol. I kinda want to keep my Magnaflow muffler though..it looks pretty sweet w/ those dual tips coming out the back

Just get a new muffler. Magnaflow sells one with 3in. in and dual 2.5in out.

ALWAYS run a flexpipe regardless of the rest of your setup.

Just go 3" all the way back until your muffler. Welding shops can make reducers. No need to ruin your performance all because you wanted to keep a stupid muffler.

the fact that there will be customizing, will scare some people

havent u seen the threads bout people who put the SOHC header and have isues w the a/c line, then all u see is: help, i dont know what to do, what happened here


all u needed is the pik that the header fits on the car
everything else u'll have to customize, big deal

I totally agree. Is "tuning" not "customizing"?

Hear it all the time...

If the header design has not flex-pipe built in, then it most likely is in need a donut gasket/spring/bolts connection. You do need one or the other.

Cat. Conv. choices

Okay I've pretty much figured out what I'm going to do: have a 3 - 2.5 inch collector added on after the header and then a small flex pipe and then route that to a 2.5 in/out cat.

But which cat conv. should I choose or which is good quality rather:

Catco 2.5 in/out universal cat:

Magnaflow 2.5 in/out universal, but I've got 2 options:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/_Car-...1%7C240%3A1318
OR
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/_Car-...1%7C240%3A1318

I know the magnaflows are a bit more expensive, but how do Catco Cats come up in terms of quality? are they just as good? if so then i can save the 10 bucks and get that.

the muffler shops wanted anywhere from 180-220 for a new cat. so Ebay is my friend for this, I'll save a shit ton there.

[93F22A6]

You should get a cutout installed in front of the cat so you can really open her up on track days.

[Charlie240sxt]

i would do a 3 in flex at the end of that header 3 in cat then 3 inch all the way back till your muffler that way if you ever need/want to upgrade to full 3 inch everything is already there

[flight50]

going to a 2.5 would probably be the better choice. a 3" exhaust on a not so heavily modded is a choker. a loss of some good power. 3" belongs on a turbo. you need so much backpressure to keep the ciphon of gas going. with minor bolt on 2.25 is the size. more agressive power adders and you shouldn't exceed 2.5.

make sure you put a short little flexpipe on there, or maybe a donut gasket with spring bolts.
