I have a 00 GSR swap in my hatch and I urgently need to pick up a stock header. While looking on ebay I saw that there are a number of headers for sale, however, the differentiations of years goes by 94-99 and 00-01. Does this apply to stock headers as well? I found one for a really good price but it's off a 98. Will it still fit on a 2000 GSR motor?

TIA

 

no .. u need one from 00-01

 

actully it doesnt really matter. it depends on ur exhust u are using. the 00-01 are longer then the 94-99

 

just curious why do you need a stock header instead of aftermarket?

 

..I got a 99 gsr stock header

just out of curiosity, does it fit?

 

The reason I need a stock one is because I am trying to ref the car, and living in California essentially means having to please **** smog refs in order to pass. So, my strategy is to get the car in as close to stock shape as possible so that I do not raise any eyebrows when I bring it in to get the sticker.

So, from what I understand, the only differences between the 94-99 and the 00-01 is the length of the actual outpipe right before it goes into the cat? At this point it does not matter to me because the rest of the exhaust is not there yet at all - once the header is on the car, I'll take it to a muffler shop to get the mid pipe and muffler (also stock GSR components) to get fitted onto the hatch.

So, can someone please confirm that the only difference between the 94-99 and 00-01 headers is the length? Everything else will bolt up and line up as it should?

 

Yep 00-01 GSR Header are longer than the 94-99 GSR... Yeah why don't you buy the DC Sports 4-1 or 4-2-1 Header for your car? Your motor is a OBD2 so you shouldn't have a problem passing the state inspection!

 

Yep, the difference is the length and o2 placement. If you are going to get reffed with a 2000 GSR motor, you will need to get the 00-01 GSR header or 94-01 LS header, both have 1 o2 bung in the collector and are the same size, length, etc, and then you would need a 00-01 GSR cat, 96-01 LS cat, or any other cat with one o2 bung for the 2nd o2. It will make your life easier if you get the 00-01 gsr/96-01 ls cat with the matching header, because you could bolt on a stock exhaust from a 94-01 LS and 00-01 GSR without running into any problems.
