The one he has will work.

He needs to put a flexpipe on it though.

Good to see you have your new add on.
The one big problem with these is the EGR pipe.
Just make sure that you don't tighten down the header nuts until you get the EGR pipe ends treaded correctly. Keep the EGR pipe loosely connected at EGR side so you have some play room. When you get the header connection side started about half way then start to tighten down the EGR side too.
I learned the hard way on this cross threaded the Header EGR threads. Luckly I was able to retap the threads.
Good Luck.

i just plugged every hole for my carbed engine... just wait man... the finish will dull, the downpipe will get surface rust on it... when i pull my header on monday, im gonna wire wheel the downpipe and spray it with a few coats of high temp black...

what brand is it?

[HondaBoy]

heres something i want to know. pacesetter is really the only brand i've found that makes a header specificly for the carburated engine. i had thought that the FI header could work with the holes plugged. my friend has pacesetter headers on his 300ZX, they're over 10 years old. yeah, the black paint has flaked off and its got surface rust, but they are still good. anyway, is the header that bitesize has there better than the pacesetter original black one? what exactly would it take to get the FI one to comply with the carb engine? im guessing just cap off the extra holes.

[dXsquared]

i have the EXACT same header

i got 2 o2 sensor PLUGS at the parts store... and i used the rolled up tubes to fill the holes for the air suction and the EGR pipe... i have a weber, so i just capped them off

whats sooo different with a carbed car compared to an FI?? NOTHING... 1 less 02 sensor.... and in canada, we have NO o2 sensors

This header has a air suction port for the carb models... which i will plug up.

[HondaBoy]

wait, so it was originally for the carbed engine? can i find one like that with the armor coat other places than ebay, i really havent looked. DC makes one, but not for carb, i think.

[aCCo[R]D]

after you install it let us know if that pacesetter makes a better engine sound :cool2:

[od2681]

welcome to the pacesetter clan....that looks clean ....i got the black ones...hehe...still works fine though

[Justin86]

Yep the good old pacesetter. Don't plan on having that little bracket on the back of the engine line up the header. You have to make the holes musch wider and taller for them to line up. I just removed the bracket cause I was soo pissed it didn't line up.

[Nate2310]

yeah it was kind of a bitch it install, and if you don't want that fuckin ball joint makin hella annoying noise then either weld in a flexpipe or just spray rubber coating on the ends of the ball joint and it wont make ne noise, that's what I did

You aren't shitting me, the bracket didn't line up worth a damn....I just removed the bracket from the engine.

I like the sound this pacesetter gives...kind of a grunting noise. I did get a gain in power too around 4,000+ rpms.

[Justin86]

yea I was soo pissed it didn't line up but hey it was cheap.

[Darkside]

Speaking of the glorious Pacesetter Header I have had my egr blocked off and then this morning it broke off and left a large hole on the underside of the second tube. I had to have it welded closed. I'm not exactly sure why it broke off maybe from vibration without being connected to a pipe for support?-just a guess. And about that short throw shifter-works great but to lower it all the way you have to cut a hole in the heat shield or remove it. WTF Darkside
