i guess to clear up some confusion i might cause, the reason why i think it looks odd, is cuz i dont know where it goes on the engine haha...so if people can also show me where at it connects to the engine that will help also...thanks
well...i dont have a header....so i dont know exactly what it looks like...but.....it replaces ur exhaust manifold.....if that helps
not a 2.4 guy ... but do this...
Pop the hood
Look behind the engine ( the part of the engine right by the fire wall)
there will be a rusty colors thing that has 4 pipes connected to it with the rest of the exhaust connected to that
thats were that new shinny header ( no S in there) goes.
Wow.

looks right to me. had mine put on not too long ago. cost me a fair bit, i guess they didnt quite figt right in.
to see how it will go hold the header so the bottem end is pointing down and the top would be against the back of the motor. the second peace (down pipe) the wide end fits agenst the haeder and will cause the pipe to leavel off. it hard to explain but the haeder pionts down then the down pipe curves to make it face the back of the car and hook into the stock exhaust right befor the cat.

doug the pipe with the lil tiny pipe hooked to and goes into the flange (the part with the 4 ports in it) goes twords the driver side (left) if you were sitting in your car
this lil tube is for your EGR system. its pretty straight forward once u get the exhuast mani out, it goes in pretty much the same way.
wheres about iowa are u located?
yes that is the 2.4 twin cam header
looks identical to mine
other than its the grand am , with the o2 on the wrong side
check with caspers electronics and see if they have a o2 extension that will work with your o2 sensor plug

i am located in boone, 15-20 minutes west of ames and 45 minutes northwest of desmoines
and the "wow" is for what??? i have explained in other posts that i am a noob in the performance section and am 100% more familiar with the exterior/interior due to i had a tuned stratus (stratusphere.net) where there weren't much performance mods to learn from....guess you guys dont have patience but thanks to those who explained how the headers fit into place i appreciate it very much

God DANG IT IT S A
HEADER not Header's!!!! Headers are 4 V6 and bigger engines that have 2 exhaust manifolds, and you dont gotta know performance to know that. Its common sense.....
OK sorry to go off in your post, and its not really you im ragging on, jsut iv eseen so many headers this, headers that posts the last few months i ready to kick peoples teeth in and take thier cars from them. *sigh*
His profile lists a 98, so it's got EGR. Other than the O2 sensor on the wrong side, you're good to go
and no...its not common sense....90 % of the people at my school wouldn't have known that so you are wrong....just because people are not as smart about engines as you are doesn't mean we automatically know the correct grammar for size of cars
....is this guy legally aloud to own a car let alone drive one?.......so thats a wow from me as well.....
way to give new members a bad impression of the members on the forum......good work guys

Welcome to the J-body community, some days it scares me, having come from the 2nd and 3rd gen Camaro community. Seems like there's a few hardcore members around here that are very knowledgable, and a bunch of ricer boys that think vinyl adds horsepower.
There will always be someone faster than you, but thousands slower and dumber than you.

logical deduction for some would lead them to beleive it would go where the exhaust exits the engine. weither they know cars or not.
since when you pop your hood on a 2.4 you are looking at the engine, you dont see anything that resembles what is in that pic you posted. so common sense would lead people to think it goes somewhere else. so then you would look where it would go

am i legal to own and drive a car? no not at all dude im only 19 almost 20 years old and have a perfect driving record but you seem to beleive im not legally of age to drive and own car you sure hit the spot right there i wish i had as much knowledge as you do. how about instead of trying to bring me down and only making you look like an ass, you could have taken the 2 minutes (if that) to explain. but yet you probably had to take the 5-10 mins to come up with a smart-ass remark. and i agree with what chris said, a select few of you have made a bad impression of the forum you represent. the forum i came from (stratusphere.net) they know how to show class, maybe a few of you should take a trip over there and see how they treat and respect their members.....just my .02 and once again thank you and i appreciate those who have helped
No need to go and get your panties in a knot dude, thing is on this forum there is A LOT of hardcore newbies, and I think people just get sick of seeing it all the time, because lets face it, Cavaliers and Sunfires are a lot of people's first cars.
Calm down, take a deep breath, you got the answers you needed. People around here are probably just sick of the newbie questions, I know it sounds harsh, but it's just the way it is I guess.

If people are sick of the "newbie" questions they need not post,give this guy a break.Yes he should have maybe posted this in the newbie forum but I think he got the correct info. he needed from the people who aren't troll flamers!Alot of you guys' are cool but some of you that are premium need to go to the aag or ag forums,grab a bag of popcorn and look at some poontang

I'm not hating on this guy in particular, he's just ignorant, thats all (as in, unknowing, I'm not calling anybody names here) just like i'm entirely ignorant of tuning
Some people probably just got fed up I guess, because back in the day before forums, people would go out and look first, not just post. But yea, probably shouldn't have jumped on him so hard, I had the luxury of being taught by family members in the trade for the most part.
