22re header ?
i am going to get an intake made, and make a 2.25" exhaust with single in/out flowmaster and high flow cat, and im going to installl a header.
my question is what brand do you suggest? i was thinking thorley, its like 235. is that a good brand? also will the air tube located on/over the stock ex manifold be used? or do i even need it?
thanks, chris

Ive heard downey was a good header and thorley, but what engine are you working w. and i belive the air tube will be used. I think it deals w/ emmisions but im not sure.

When I researched headers, I found that LC Engineering and Thorley were best. I was going to get an LC Engineering one, but I changed my mind because they raised the price to $350. I was thinking about welding a 2" or 2.25" pipe on the lower part of the stock collector (I think that is what it is called, the part after the manifold). This would also involve getting a new Y connector. This would take out a lot of the restriction in that pipe. I am not sure if it would be as good as a header, but it would be a lot cheaper.

yep...but a aged cat gets clogged and looses flow, they wear out just like the rest of the exhaust.

by o2 bung, you mean the connecter pipe from the header to the cat? since in 92 the o2 sensor is back by the cat?
Personally, I had a non cermaic header, and it was fine.. but I now have a ceramic and like it much better.

so now im looking into a header...
which of LCE's headers are you looking at? I only saw the one thats made for a 22re/turbo and its $765...a lil much for me. The rest are 22r headers (I assume they work for 22re as well?) but they seem like theyre for street/racing applications? Which one should i be looking at?

not nessesarily true, i bought a 22r header and it didnt work w/ my 22re. but i would trust the company and look at the bolt pattern, thats where i got screwed.
