2.2 w/ lsj exhaust manifold

any one out there with a 2.2 and swapped the stock exhaust mani for the lsj one, did it make any noticable difference and was it worth it?

it would be better than nothing... but you'll gain even more when you get a cat-back... the piping on the 2.2 is tiny. See if you can find a stock Sport or SS cat back that someone is getting rid of... it would be good for the 2.2

its is a great and cheap upgrade but do the whole system, when I changed mine it was a nice difference imo, dont know if you have seen the difference in the two but its a night and day difference, here are some pics of the two side by side from when I upgraded

I want to see numbers from a car with just the intake mod, ss/sc full exhaust system and intake manifold from 2.4, I bet its some good numbers and not to much in the price department. Or if someone has done this and I cant find it please post if for me

Wow... nice pics. I bet you'd gain 10hp just by swapping to that mani., downpipe, and a SS cat-back. Amazing the restriction they put on these things... for no reason.

when you do the swap you should take pics of the pacesetter next to the ss/sc manifold to get a pic of the two side by side

i have it, it is awesome with the lsj downpipe too, since it all matches right up to stock exhaust and looks stock at the same time. definately helps and sounds nice
