Balian Posted April 23, 2004 Report Share Posted April 23, 2004 Does anyone know how hard it would be to install headers on an 2.2 ecotec? Do you think it would be generally hard to do? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BiG BeN Posted April 24, 2004 Report Share Posted April 24, 2004 if the exhaust manifold is in front then it's easy, if it's in the back it's hard. BTW if you have a pair i dunno what the hell you'll do with the other one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BiG BeN Posted April 24, 2004 Report Share Posted April 24, 2004 crap, i just looked at your engine bay. kinda looks like a hard one to get to.i would say on a scale of 1-10 with 1 being a B-series honda. and 10 being a maxima or something. i would call it about a 5.5 a lift would make it more enjoyable.

Balian Posted April 24, 2004 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2004 Cool. That is what I was thinking also. Maybe a 5 hr job or so. And yea, header..hahahaha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitrousbird Posted April 28, 2004 Report Share Posted April 28, 2004 From what I've heard of headers on most 4 bangers, it is a lot of cash for VERY little gains. Perhaps save your money for something more worthwhile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That and the sound difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skinner Posted April 29, 2004 Report Share Posted April 29, 2004 what type of headers are they Pace setter or RK sports. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balian Posted April 29, 2004 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2004 Haven't decided yet. I might just go for the RK sport ones because I have heard some good things about them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
