The automatic 2.2s and 2.4s have the engine clocked forward towards the core support.
Which does cause fitment problems of some downpipes (flex pipes will rub on the front swaybar).
However with exception to the JBP (it wont fit 2.4 autos I know this for a fact) and possibly the ottp long tube and zzp longtubes (no information currently posted on fitment of these headers on autos) I believe all shorty headers will fit the autos. I have a zzp shorty and it fits fine. But I know my zzp 3 inch to 2.5 catted 5spd downpipe rubbed on my front swaybar bad enough that I had to take it off pretty quickly.

Most likely. I have a smaller swaybar than SS/SC's do and it rubbed on mine. Not all will. So you can always try and see. But if you do a trial fitment be sure to go for a drive. though mine would actually knock the swaybar on startup.
