Header selection
Wednesday, March 16, 2005 7:54 PM
Here are the headers i'm looking at getting to help complete my exhaust overhaul. I'm going with a Magnaflow Hi-flow cat and a cherry bomb glasspack all using 2.25 pipes.

So to be quick.
Pacesetters coated. I've heard good, and bad. Any power gains noticed?
RKSport 4-2-1 Ceramic Coated. Same as above, except I've heard about bad quality issues.
Stan's, Bill's, whatever. I WANT, but should I hold out till i can spend that much money comfortably?
And the one the I'm leaning more towards, Mantapart. I haven't been able to find anything on these, so I was just wondering if they're ceramic coated and 4-2-1.

Thanks in advance.

Everytime i see the pacesetter headers, they're marked for 95-97 applications. I have a 98 2.4L, will it still work?

they are 96-98 , 70-1277 or 72c1277


the 99-02 is 70-1278 or 72c1278


the 72c #s are the coated headers


the only real complant i hear on here is the style flex joint

Cool, a set of motor mounts should help stop the flex i would think.

where are the upper and lower engine mounts located? (sorry for the newbie question)

passenger side of the engine. To get to the upper you'll have to remove your coolant reservoir. The lower one involves taking out your passenger side fender liner.
