It will align just fine, but the length will undoubtedly be off. K-Teller makes an adjustable pipe that you can use to remedy this or you can have a local shop cut and reweld it.

You're best bet is to just do it. If it does fit "w00 h00"

If it doesn't, spend the $60 at the muffler shop and have it fixed.

Oem header with a 2.5" collector will be better than any header you buy for less than $600

are you saying it would be a waste of money to buy some knock off headers in the meantime??....i plan to go boost but i dont wanan waste that much on some headers if they are going to be replaced later on. the set up it has now is the oem header and the bottom looks custom but its a shitty job it bends to low to the ground its not to close to the oil pan but the ground.

Yes, i am saying it is a waste of money to buy a cheap header.

headers aren't THAT beneficial until you start buying headers that have some R&D behind them. I.E. Headers that cost $500+

Get a JDM H22A header or a Toda header - it's all how much $ you put into it.

Throw some DC Sports header on it - it's fine - it's just a negligible difference on a DC Sports header opposed to some ebay header in terms of 4 cylinder naturally aspirated engines.
