I think I would go with them too, if I needed headers right away. The location for the oxygen sensor actually looks better in the Pacesetters than the other two, and that is important. I'm not seeing where the EGR is going to hook up, though.......

Somebody without tuning capability, or in some states where you just gotta have it to pass smog tests.

You don't need EGR to pass smog test, I passed in Colorado with the charger with no problems......

Yeah, it's my daily driver so I need it legit. I'll let the mechs figure that one out though. I couldn't tell you where each thing goes anyway because I've never examined it that far or closely.

It's hangin' off the one primary like a wart. The rear header is upside down in the pics.

Lol my bad. Just kind of did a mish mash piece together. It is at the shop now and hopefully complete in a few hours. As long as someone doesn't break into my car and steal them out the back...which is possible for this kind of neighborhood.

Indeed. Someone send me their e-mail who has a youtube account. I'll send a video and they can upload. Can't figure out my old youtube password.

I got them back and...not sure how I feel. Sound hasn't changed that much, no difference in feeling, just a lot of engine surging when I am idling, and of course: now I have a check engine light. Anyone know what that is about?

sending the video now.

You have chaged the airflow dramatically, and so now you probably need a tune. Any leaks would explain the surging, and may be the source of the CEL.
Can you pull the code for the CEL?

You may have a vacuum leak or a sensor not plugged back in.

Vacuum leaks around the headers? Or other? And how the heck do I find them? I do not have a scanner to pull a code and I work 12s the next two days so I won't even be able to get it near a shop. CEL?

It only has that one sensor right? I saw that it was plugged in. However, with these headers you do have to extend the electrical line to have the sensor reach-which they did.

I also have nice puddle of radiator fluid that is coming from the passenger side somewhere and not the water pump. Somewhere lower.

Overall, I am pretty effing pissed. I am uploading the video now so hopefully you can get a better look.

You could have a leaky header gasket.....you could have a leak around one of the joints, a leak at the EGR tube, a leak at the O2 sensor (did they use a proper harness to extend the wires???). Also, Pacesetter headers are notorious for leaking at the Y-pipe.

The coolant could be coming from the water tower, or the heater bypass hose that is press-fit into the LIM.....
