Hey all,
I am interested in getting a header for my car, but NC has emissions and I was wondering if there is a header that will fit under the stock manifold cover. I am pretty sure that the scion can pass the NC sniffer without a cat on, but I would fail visual inspection.
Thanks in advance.

 

you could always have a custom one fabbed, its only sheet metal.

 

Yeah I would have to do it myself though since Im in college and the moneys a bit tight, but our motorspots club has all the tools. I would have never thought about that though Thanks.

 

the stock one can be made to fit, just needs alittle cutting or something.

 

and a big hammer...

otherwise, you won't find one.

 

thats what I was affraid of
oh well looks like ill be making a custom one for which ever header I get, I'll be sure to make a write up when i do it.

 

well.. if you could weld like, worm gear clamps to the bottom of the stocker and trim to fit you could clamp it to the header? might rattle though

 

yeah I would need something pretty solid, I am a stickler for good work and clean looking installs

 

i know there was someone who put the OEM heat shield over a megan racing header. i did a search a few days ago, but i couldn't find who it was. and it actually looked really good. anyone remember that thread?

 

Yeah, Guillermo posted a picture of his in that thread: https://www.scionlife.com/forums/vie...ht=heat+sheild

 

awesome the fitment alteration dont seem hard. looks like Im going with a megan racing header. thanks guys.

 

I think there was one more person who did this too... I remember him doing his really nicely. not "ghetto rigged" as G said....
