So, I have a 2nd Gen NA header from Racing Beat and before I go to install it and have someone weld up some "filler" pipe for me (can't afford a pro shop to do it), I'm wondering of the angle issues I may encounter.

IIRC, I was told that the end of the 2nd Gen header points down a bit more than the header for a 1st Gen 13B. I also have a flange to weld onto the pipe to connect to the header.

 

I switched my FB from dual to single exhaust using FC header. Its not bad at all so long that you're re-doing the piping.

 

Only thing I'm doing is wanting to place some pipe to connect my cat to the header itself.

 

it can be done also. I forget to mention that the FB is my son's daily driver so I also installed a cat converter with the emission end blocked-off with a 18" glasspack into a blown magnaflow muffler. at least this way, he is legit.

 

I'm sure it can be done, I'm just wondering of the angle that I may face. How much different is the FC header compared to the FB header? Doesn't it aim a bit lower?
