[DOHC_tuner]

if you suggest the pacesetter who should I get it through?
But im leaning towards the obx one

[DOHC_tuner]

so no body has a peformance exhaust manifold on their LD9 equipted Alero? Im I the only one modifing the shit out of this engine?

obx sucks. why buy a poorly made knockoff?

get the pacesetter from turbotechracing, it's far cheaper

If it were me, I'd go for the stainless steel OBX for lasting durability.

100% Pacesetter...if you get OBX your asking for problems

[Spilner521]

Go with Pacesetter, I've only heard good things about it from everyone that has it.

What are you running for an exhaust? What cams?

Nope, just the only one that's doing it without forced induction.

[DOHC_tuner]

Im planning to run just the secret cams, I wanted to use the HO cams but I just need my car back on the road so I can get the hell out of my jefes house already. I miss my effn alero. I plan to boost soon so I think im just gonna go with the obx.

put the stock manifold on if you're going to turbo, why waste money you could use on the FI setup? lol

[AJules]

heres a pacesetter for 150

[DOHC_tuner]

wow thats a good price, except the only thing is it is for the twin cam with an EGR. will this still work?

[Cliff8928]

The only difference is that little side passage for the EGR.

[DOHC_tuner]

^i know that, but how will I block it off or what?

[spyhunter]

you block it off with an exhaust gasket that is mean for your later model car. The gaskets for later models block off the hole.

BUT IF YOU'RE GOING FOR BOOST WHY WASTE MONEY ON A HEADER?

ROFL!!!!

[CharleyO99Alero]

Laugh if you want but I have had both regular & stainless steel headers on past cars with V8 engines and the stainless steel headers always lasted longer. I still have a set on my 1964 El Camino that I've owned for 25 years.

i think the joke is more the fact that the OBX header is a known peice of crap header. comes straight out of the box with bad flanges, not fitting. just an overall peice. you take a chance when you buy OBX. will it fit, will it not fit. just too much of a chance to spend your money on really. if you really truly are boosting SOON then dont even worry about a header. unless your running a SC. but i dont think tuner is going that route. turbo...

Ya if it fits, it looks nice, I'll take it off his hands, since I have a supercharger and need a header.

I thought you already had the full exhaust done for some reason. I would guess you'd see quite a noticeable difference especially since it's supercharged. A header, high flow cat and at least 2.5" free flowing exhaust....open that restriction up and drop those quarter mile times
