Hello, I have a question. Does anyone know if this header on the link below would work. If so would i need to do any modifications to make the header fit and would i get any performance out of it. Thanks

It's similar to what you would use but it would not go under the car, it would run into the firewall.
Get this ... it fits and has the oxygen sensor hook up and EGR valve. I know, I have it on my car. All you need to do is extend the oxygen sensor's wires. And it's $25.00 cheaper.

You should have waited for the rest of the exhaust if you were getting the header because the header collector is 2.5" and if you're cat-back is smaller you're going to need to piece them together with a connector. It shouldn't pose any problem though in connecting at all, just would have been nicer to do it all at once. It definitely sounds different. Look in the "Exhaust sound clip links!" thread at the top of the "2.3L Tech" page and I have a clip in that thread. My exhaust setup is desribed in that thread.

Stop it. Don't waste your money on a hood and then on painting the hood. I got a Saleen spoiler and if I did it again, that money would definitely go toward something else.

It won't make your car any faster. But if that's what you want to do, it is your car. You decide.
