im thinking of getting the lce header for my pickup 22re any have this on there pickup could tell me what is sounds like how much power increase and will it make my truck louder im runin a hollowed out cat 2.25 exhaust flowmaster 40 series

 

its an awesome header and will make an power increase over stock and will be louder.....

i honestly dont see the point in a hallowed out cat... jsut well, um... not smart....

 

well where i live i dont have emmison laws so i just hallowed out the cat rather than getting a new one

 

its a federal law that says you must have working cats... so in fact there is an emission law everywhere in the US.... there is no reason not to have a properly working cat... otehr than stupidity

 

your truck was originally equipped with one and doesnt qualify for that excuse... try again....

 

will i might order one this week if i can find a cheap one

 

dont know how chep you are looking for but some performance places have cats for $50

 

If you don't feel that it's necessary to get a cat nothing anybody says on here will convince you otherwise. It *is* however, a matter of personal responsibility and accountability to everyone else on the planet that's breathing this air.

Besides, I got a Magnaflow cat off of Ebay for about $50 and I likes how shiny it is next to my rusted old Flowmaster


EDIT:
Oh yeah, I'm loving my headers
I don't like the fact that whatever the hell was painted/coated on them are peeling off but the power gains are welcome

 

I have NWOR headers and my exfather-in-law has LCE and we both agree that mine performs better. I also have a hollowed out cat and i pass emmissions so if its good enough for the state than why complain?

 

i like nwor but i dont think they make one for my truck

 

What is your truck?
I have a 22re in a 85 extra cab.

 

well looks like im going with the lce i was reading the post here and looks like nwor have poor customer service well im be ordering it by friday and the new stud kit 2 and lots of theard lock

 

well i just got off the phone from lce very good service ask them a few thng and told me every thing i asked about

im lookin at $340 for the header and block off plates and stud kit and shipping

 

should i leave the air injectors on or block it off ??

 

Why keep asking these questions? Air injection was put there for a reason, to attempt to keep the air clean. Put the air injection manifold back on if you want to be legal and responsible to your fellow air breathing humans. If you've hollowed out your cat, then I suppose not putting the air injection system back on isn't going to matter to you anyway. But for reference, removing the air injection system will result in higher CO and HC emissions (particularly when the engine is cold) and will probably foul your catalytic converter faster.

 

header is on its way should be here on tuesday ill have to get back to u soon ill try to find some one who does dynos around here wanna see what the old 4bannger got lol

 

any one know what kind of sealnt i should use the red rtv will melt i need 2 make a leake free gasket around the cat flanges

 

well i took my stock manifold off today wow came off easy i thougt would be hard i used some stuff for napa called free off works great heres the web site www.gsasupplyco.com

took it off cuz i need to ride my motorcycle more lol

 

re: the cat flanges - just weld them shut. Most effective way of sealing it off.

 

are you seriously going to try and put RTV on the cat flanges?!

my friend has an lce header on his truck... the fit and finish is aweesome its brand new though... i cant tell what his exhuast really sounds like yet... its a whole new lce exhuast.... header back to the tailpipe behind the tire.... he has to wait until he breaks his new lce engine in before he can open up the throttle.....
