View Full Version : Exhaust/headers
AndrewNmandy 05-02-2006, 11:47 PM The headers on my Fiances 01 sunfire coupe are all rusted and gives the engine bay an overall bad look. So I am going to add a drop in KnN filter to make sure the engine is getting clean air. I want to get some headers and an exhaust/Exhaust tip. Ebay has a set of Headers that they say will fit stock exhaust for 120 and a set of OBX headers for 155. Are those any good? also going to add an exhaust tip ,but with adding the exhaust tip will the car sound really high pitched, like a weed eat on meth?
Patrick 05-03-2006, 04:50 PM ok..a few things i dont understand...you keep saying "headers"..or a set of headers. what is the set? it should only be one.
AndrewNmandy 05-04-2006, 03:45 AM OK sorry, A set/headers. Ebay has headers pretty cheap but will the ebay headers fit the stock exhaust untill i buy a new exhaust system. Yes or No... http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/98-02-PONTIAC-SUNFIRE-2-2L-2D-4D-RACING-HEADER-SE-00-01_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ33631QQitemZ80607040 18QQrdZ1QQsspagenameZWDVW
And will a new exhaust tip give the car a really high pitched sound?

ecotech05 05-14-2006, 03:44 PM Hey andrewnMandy,
I wouldnt suggest getting those headers I looked at them too, but there not an exact fit. If your gonna get headers for your sunfire I would suggest trying www.lmperformance.com. That;s were I found all my performance parts for my sunfire also I would suggest to you getting am Amsoil air filter instead of K&N because its cheaper and it works better for your car more flow than K&N and cheaperr too I think I got mine for like $25.00. I hope this helps. Let me know what you decide. I tried ebay for all my parts for my sunfire but Ebay had jack. everything was universal and reading some of the feedback said that some had to be modified. Hope this helps.
AndrewNmandy 05-14-2006, 11:34 PM Thanks for the info. I ran amsoil in my 4wheelers, both 2 and 4stroke and the perforamce was awesome. I honestly noticed a diffrence in power and overall smoothness in the engine/tranny. Also burned off all the excess Carbon biuld up on top of the piston on my 2 strokes. I am going to run amsoil oil,air and oil filter in the car sense it only needs changed ever 25k..
AndrewNmandy 05-14-2006, 11:37 PM PS exactly what headers did you buy? I was going to buy the uncoated Pacesetter headers, I had them on my Z28, the block hugger headers and I loved them. What can I coat them with? was thinking red BBQ pit paint, 1500º
ecotech05 05-15-2006, 03:45 AM Yea synthetic is great I put it in my sunfire and it runs awesome I do use amsoil also my car runs cooler idles better and saves on gas. As far as headers I chose not to get them because I thought I might have to mod them reading some of the negitive feedback from Ebay I was like nah. I just chose to get exuast But go with stainless steel if you do. you dont want to deal with rust in the future. about coating them with bbq pit paint let me do some reasearcch on that and Ill let ya know k. Hope this helps sunfires rule lol.
AndrewNmandy 05-15-2006, 01:57 PM awesome man, Thanks alot. I tried to do a little search on it but couldnt find anything much. no1 seems to be TOO helpfull unless your driving a Gt mustang or a Z28. But I dont know of a Z or GT that gets 26-30mpg in the city ;)
ecotech05 05-16-2006, 10:58 AM Yea I dont know a Mustang that works good lol j/j sorry not a big ford fan. Ill talk to my buddy about your idea hes a car God hes got an 87 Grandnational that runs 11's and a wrx thats majororly quick so ill see what he says. Do you know buy chance were I could get good deals on Intake for my sunfire and an exuast, besides Egay I thought about the website I showed you but some are way over priced. I was gonna buy a dual exuast one but id have to drill holes and mod it cause my cars only single so let me know if you know anywere to get good deals on exaust and intake. maybe I should put a turbo on there lol. what year is your sunfire do you have the ecotech version in there if so awesome performance.
AndrewNmandy 05-16-2006, 11:12 PM I dont know what ecotech is. its my wifes are. Its a 01 standard model sunfire 2dr. Ebay has been pretty good to me, I bought Some stuff off ebay for my old camaro and had no problems. Maybe I was just lucky. and this is the best and cheapest dual exhaust kit, actually its the only dual kit for a sunfire i have found http://www.magnaflowexpress.com/shop/magnaflow-15762-57.html
ecotech05 05-16-2006, 11:34 PM Ecotech is the upgrade model of the 2.2 liter. they use to have 2.4 which was in my old sunfire but now they only have 2.2 ecotechs which means they just bump up the horse power a bit. my cars got 150 horses its not much but with the mods you can do you can get that thing as quick as an Accord. The car I really want is a mitsibishi Evolution 286 HP baby hell yea lol. anyways thanx for the web site.
AndrewNmandy 05-17-2006, 03:54 AM My best friend has a Evo, I love that thing. Driving it down Micco rd in florida( a long winding road) is awesome. The corners that say 15mph you can do 40-50 with no problem. I love the traction and power you get with that thing,being its AWD.
ecotech05 05-17-2006, 10:53 AM Hey man found a good website if you lookin for header hope it works check it out
