2200 header install question
Saturday, March 28, 2009 1:29 PM
Hi, i will like to buy a header for my 2200 i found this one interesting:

http://cgi.cafr.ebay.ca/OBX-Exhaust-Manifold-Header-98-02-Chevy-Cavalier-2-2L_W0QQitemZ200322420008QQcmdZViewItemQQptZMotors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories?hash=item200322420008&_trksid=p 3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=72%3A1215%7C66%3A2%7C65%3A12%7C39%3A1%7C240%3A1318


my question is how do you connect the pipe that go near the cat because in the pic it doesnt seem to have the 3 bolt flange..And am i ok if there is no flex in the pipe ( i got all the motor and tranny mount) will the weld break??

sorry my bad english...
thanks

You'll need a reducer. That is probably 2" at the slip fit and your stock pipe is somewhere around 1 3/4". I had to do this for mine till I can get my exhaust finished. I would have waited but my flex pipe tore all the way through and I had the header already so on it went a little earlier than planned to save money getting the flexpipe replaced.

Don't let the punks get to you. If they can't say anything helpful its because they probably
have VERY LITTLE IF ANY MECHANICAL SKILLS . Talking crap is just their way of hiding that
fact. They figure the more crap they say the less likley anyone will know how dumb they are.

put it on and secure the rest of your exhaust to the chassis, then drive to a muffle shop (it will be hella loud) and have it welded up. I would'nt clamp it because the possibility for a leak but most shops will take care of welding it for you for a decent price.

X2 mine is leaking and it throws off the reading of the #2 O2 sensor. No check engine light but its noticably losing power and cutting out under light acceleration when it wasn't before.
