I have also been searching for headers for my CL. The ones I have found are all discontinued.

Good mandrel bent downpipes, cat, and cat-back have also been hard to find. I love Borla. They no longer make a cat-back for this car.

I've got a set of DC Sports that I've been meaning to put up on eBay. Just have to find packaging for it. Only issue is that the muffler shop cut the flange off and welded it directly to cat. You'll have to have it welded on if you want to use it.

You're talking about the two headers, right? No downpipe or J-pipe or whatever?

Not sure if you're referring to me or OP. I have both headers & the Y pipe though. It's the end of Y pipe that's been cut off, even though I asked them not to.

How much for both with shipping to CA?
And I don't suppose you still have that flange? I can always try to weld it back on. Because I don't want to weld it to the cat.

Check these out, they are listed as 'exhaust pipe'; however, they appear to be headers.
These were posted on the CL side by someone stating they would fit the manual trans. model when the sales listing clearly displays that they do not.

Ah, It's out of stock. They were only asking $150 bucks for new exhaust manifolds and downpipe and those are some smooth bends. That is not crush-bent. And it's stainless steel. Nuts.

This is pretty awesome.

https://www.autoaccessoriesgarage.co...er-Weld-Up-Kit
  • Heartthrob Header Weld Up Kits give you the ability to design your own high-performance header to fit your engine's specific needs
  • Heartthrob Header Kits provides race-level performance to your vehicle
  • Made from aluminized steel 16 gauge tubing for strength and durability
  • Header kits include 8 primary tubes and collectors, so you can purchase more specific flanges to fit to your engine
  • Heartthrob Exhaust Header Kits come in multiple styles to suit the needs of your vehicle, including Sprint, Lake and Long Tube Header Kits
  • The Heartthrob Shortie Style Weld Up Kit allows you to cut and weld a custom set of shelf headers onto your vehicle
  • Lots of cutting and welding required to build; intended for serious welders and car builders
  • Made in the USA
  • Not CARB approved - not legal in California
  • No shit, it's not fucking legal in California. We got pointy-headed liberals here!
So they have 4 very different header designs for you to choose from, and then you even get to choose the diameter of pipping being used. So, depending on which style header you choose, you get a few diameter choices of piping. All the way from 5/8" all the way up to 2 1/8". Crazy. Then you do what you want with it. Cut a bit here, weld a little there, Break a litany of shortsighted Statewide emissions laws? I don't know, It sounds like a good time to me.

I am not proficient in the various types of header styles with their benefits and concerns, but it doesn't look too hard.



Any of you think I can fit 13 cats in that little jungle that may be my new headers?
