Well since y'all are talking about header for our car I got a question. I have a carb'd car and the only after market header I could find were PaceSetter and DC Sports, but they are for the FI models. So, how will those bolt on ? I see from some of the post here that they don't line up properly. Help me out before I make an expensive mistake in a couple months. Also just a side question, can a steel fab shop custom make a header for you and if so what should it cost. Thanks.

They are universal so they fit carb and EFI, so you might have to plug any extra holes. The only thing that makes it a pain to instal is the motor bracket dosen't line up, except for that its not that hard.

Did any of you gauys gett copper gaskets with your header. I blew out the one it came with and re-ordered the new ones I got today are copper. Just curious.

[Bloodlust]

Very cool man. Let us know if you notice a difference.

[dXsquared]

darkside... are you talking about the pacesetter?? and are you talking about the head to header gasket??? or the header to downpipe gasket???

if its the downpipe gasket.. tell me where you got it... im runnin on home made gaskets.. its actually working VERY good

Yea it's the Pacesetter. The head to header gasket-you can use an oem one. The header to downpipe gasket-is the one I'm refering to -you can get them directly from Pacesetter. Here is their number 1-602-266-1964. The ones I got are copper-I'm stoked.Darkside

how much???

Travis

[Darkside]

I think they were 12.95 each-I got 2. I thought they were like the First one it came with. I had a home-made-gasket and it blew out fast. Darkside
2 gaskets and shipping was 38.00

[Justin86]

Yea I have tried other gaskets thats I had to cut and they didn't work at all. Then on my great search yesterday to find a good gasket I guy told me to use the ATV high temp silicone, it all he uses on his race car. So I'm giving it a try today to see how it works.

[BITESIZE]

I plugged the Air suction Valve thing, I have noticed a big differance from 4,000 to red line... also it makes a grunting noise which I like.


All together it took about 3 hours total, because the nuts were rusted pretty bad by where the cat. converter goes, so that was fun. The whole unit fit perfectly except the mounting bracket by the oil pan.

Hey Bitesize, happy to hear you have the new toy in place, but remember you will have to check it every season (before and after winter) just so you don't let it go, to get all rusted.
Congrats again,
Phil
