Dose any one know if I could put a smaller oil filter on my car, i have a 2000 2.2 sohc cavalier. I pulled my ebrake and I snapped my exaust pipe near the headers. Now my engine sounds like crap because its like I am running open headers. The oil filter rubbs againts something and after a while it punctures a hole and all my oil leaks out. Please let me know. Thx.

This should be in the maitenance forum.
You should not have ANYTHING rubbing your oil filter. Pulling the ebrake has nothing to do with your exhaust, so I don't know how you think they are related. The 2.2l is actually an overhead valve, not overhead cam. Now that I'm finished grilling you...
Putting a smaller oil filter on would not be advised. Your better off fixing your exhaust.
First, my exaust pipe did snap after I pulled my ebrake and did a 360 in a parking lot. I didn't know There was a maintenance forum, thx.

1) you did something stupid, thats why your exhuast piece broke.
2) you oil filter if stock size doesnt touch anything, if it is, its not the oil filter thats the problem, its either a bad mount, possibly wires or a hose.

true.
Cannon fodder is my daddy.
I know I did something stupid, now I am paying the price. I feel like a jack@ss.

Thanks Guys, I figured it out. Becuase the exaust pipe busted below the headers, when ever I start my car or accelerate the engine rocks back and fourth violently. There is a bold that is kinda near my filter, when ever I accelerate it hits the bolt, and after a week a whole is made, oil everywhere. I just got my pipe welded together and my engine does not rock back and fourth any more, thus no more hitting the bolt, thus no more oil leak. I am no longer driving stupid because I am saving up for a new motor and cant afford another break down.
