KLZE header options?

Post by Gro Harlem »

I did a search and didn't find any definite answer to this question.<p>Everyone says to use the K8 exhaust manifolds if you swap in a KLZE. <p>Are there any headers available for the K8? I would imagine they would work with the KLZE if there are any available<p>Also, I read that you can use the Probe/MX6 headers, but have to relocate the cat a few inches back. Do you have to modify the headers at all? or just the existing piping / downpipes?<p>
Thanks for your help

You can use the Probe/MX-6 headers called "HOTSHOT Headers" on the K8. You will have to relocate the CAT about 2 inchs or so back. You will also have to have a bong wielded on at the muffler shop for the rear O2 sensor. The EGR system will not exactly line up, but there is a EGR port in the header for you to use. I don't know what you will have to do on this cause I didn't use the EGR system on my engine... All of the above was very easy. The EGR will just need alittle bending in the pipe I guess, nothing a muffler shop can't handle I am sure...

IF you use the KLZE ecu you don't need to use the EGR stuff right? I thought that EGR crap was K8 specific? Or am I wrong

It's a "bung". A "bong" is for something else. Heh.

hehehe... The EGR is for U.S. Cars.. The KLZE doesn't have EGR.. In my case I cut the EGR tube off the header and had it welded over..

Cool. I'll probably get the pacesetter headers. A buddy of mine with a 626 put them on his KLZE and he said the differernce is like night and day.

A longer primaries section headers would be a good choice for ZE, since it deliver most of it's power at top end. <p>I would go with the pacesetter, it has longer primaries than hotshot.<p> :shrug:

I am just wondering why pacesetter headers are better then the hotshots. I have heard nothing but good things about hotshots and badthings about
pacesetter products. :shrug: <p>can someone clear this up?

Pacesetters make more power but are made less precisely....

im gonna share my experience with ps headers over the past few days. i have the klze in my 92 gs. first off the qualitey isnt to great but for 200bux u get what u pay for. now fitment is the main concernm. they do not fir correctly at all. save urself teh money and dont get them. my set is ruined now . basically the front header flanges hit the oilpan and the rear header hits the frame. the y pipe hits the shifter stabalizer. after cutting the flanges to make them fit i could not get a good seal and the y pipe is still up against the shifter stabalizer and really close to my shift linkage. im putting on the stock ones again. i dunno how hotshot fits but pacesetter just didnt work out the way i had planned

k u cant beat the price 200 for pacesetter but the cars that i heard them on sound like trap along with the gains takes away from low end and give you high
i have had bro speed and the dyno charts that i have seen they give you a even power band and hot shot are right up there with bro speed but they are expensive but you get what you pay for
