I Got a Free Header...
Check it out...
I let Brad (ralliartist) use my shop for a good 4 hours and had a mechanic hook him up with some free exhaust work, and in return he got me this!
Its for a cavi.
Im wondering if anyone on here even knows the brand? if it will fit on my car? what type of gains i'm looking at? etc. Or if I should just sell it?
If I do end up putting it on my car, I'll bead blast it, mill the flanges, and heat wrap it so it looks nice and pretty!!
Oh and check out the new pics of my baby!

the guy that had it on his supercharged 2.2ltr ecotec cavy said it killed his low end, but then again, he couldn't get it to seat correctly at all. That's why I told neb07ss/sc to get the flanges milled to flatten them out.
anyone know what brand header it is? cause the cavy guy got it used also. So none of us know.

that is a tsudo 4-2-1 header for a j-body. you only have half of it, you will need to purchase the other part used or fab it up yourself as tsudo no longer makes this header. a friend of mine had it on his cavy, it would always blow the basket out between the top and bottom peices. for the most parts its a cheap tiawaneese piece of garbage. he ended up selling it and putting a CTI cobalt header in, but as he found out, the cars are very different in that department. im not even sure the cobalt has enough room for that header

I've only got one word for a dual exhaust on a 4cyl. GAY, and your car will be slow as hell if you do that.
bingo, thanks for the response. At least we know what it is now.

I still think Tim at your exhaust shop can make it work. I'd try it. All he has to do is fix the flaws. Mill the flanges, put a new flexpipe on it, and make a custom downpipe.

Not going to fit. I don't see a reason for the dual flange outlet but whatever...that's not the issue. The pipes go too high and I think the inlets are too big but can't tell from just looking at it.
nah he has it all except the gaskets. PS-->the vibrant header/dp is made in taiwan and it's not a piece of garbage nor is it cheap.
It's a stupid idea on a four cylinder because it's not in a v-configuration. Don't v configs have two exhaust headers, hence you can route the exhaust together or seperate it? Hence v-6, v-8, v-10, v-12.

I definetely am worried about it going to high, im going to measure the inlets tommarow and see if they are the same...
I guess all i can do is try to make it work

I've been doing some digging, and that header I gave you looks very similar to this one....

I say give it a try. It's all ecotec and it says it's designed for good midrange tq.
