im not a newbie here but it seems like a newbie question:
looking at the RK sport coated header on karos site(he shows a pic of the ECO one instead, as i m pretty sure RK sport does also) wondering if anybody has a pic of how it meets up with your stock downpipe? or an explanation will do.. again its for a 2.4L and i believe its different for the other cavi engines..
thanks guys!
If it's the 4-2-1 style, it should have a "b pipe" (what you're refering to as a downpipe) with it to meet with the catatlyic converter or piping depending on how the rest of your exhaust system is setup.
The space behind the motor for the header is about the same between the ECOTEC and the 2.4 but it's the actual bolt up to the cylinder head that is different.

No problem.
Also, I believe they have it designed to meet with your OEM catalytic converter or atleast in the same location as it would be.
Do you have a stock exhaust system?

Ok. Wait and get the high flow catalytic converter to keep the same diameter going. Since the catalytic converters are universal, there is no direct replacement so they are going to have to cut and weld. By doing this, your header might not reach your catalytic converter. They might have to do some custom work so just save yourself the headache and do it at once.
I did my header when I bought the catalytic converter as well by the way.

i will think that over but im not a real fan of hi-flow cats and all the CEL problems some do and some dont have... i will be doing all of the cutting and welding so i doubt that will be an issue. testing emisions in NY sucks as well as NJ i imagine so i dont want to be messing around with tricking the computer (o2 sensor) just to get my car to pass the test. i am willing to live with the fact that the pipe around the cat is going to be the most restrictive part of my system im just trying to get the air away from the head faster to eliminate knock retard under boost.. sorry kinda getting out of the newbie forum here LOL but again all i would like to see is a pic of the header installed on a car with stock exhaust so i can see how far the pipe comes back and where its welded just so i can see how much of a pita im looking at here... thanks again for your input

Oh ok. Yeah, I was going off your profile so that's why I was suprised.
it should be able to meet up with your OEM catalytic converter as long as it wasn't moved previously.
