2.3 Headers

[AyAnthony702]

I was wondering if anyone knows if there's a company for long tube headers for a 2010. Pacesetter has some for the older years. Has anyone ever tried putting those on a new model? Or would those even fit for a 2010 model?

There's a company called MSDS that makes a shorty header for the duratec. The stock manifold is basically a cast header though, so gains would probably be pretty minimal.

The old Lima 4 cylinders had very different cylinder heads than the Duratec, so the exhaust ports are in slightly different spots, and the header flanges would be totally different. You might be able to modify a Lima header enough to get it to work, but it would require a bunch of modification, and you'd probably be better off just getting a custom long tube header made.

Why do you want a header? Just curious.

Thank you. I need new ones and I'm in the market so I thought I might as well get better ones.

I have the MSDS Header and It's a real nice piece The thing is that it blocks the egr port off, which works for me.
