RB header for gsl-se question

I want to know, i ordered my Road Race 13B gsl-se Racing Beat header, does it have the little plug to connect the actuators for the ports ? Because, i don't have the air pump, and no acv.

1st off, for the road race header system, the "split air pipe" comes off of the presilencer section, not the header..

2nd, If you order it from MAzdatrix you can get the system with both the O2 sensor bung, and the split air pipe connection, if you specify it.

I beleive if you order it directly from RB then then you do not get teh o2 sensor or split air tube provision.

I also got the RB Street Port exhaust system which comes with the Race Header. Did anyone else notice they needed to modify the gasket that came with their exhaust sytems for it to fit the engine block? I had to cut a bigger notch out of mine. I wonder of the 12a, 13B 4-port and 6-port engine blocks are different, and they just have a generic gasket for all.

I got a Racing Beat Streat (2-1 ) header and now it seems much lower it actually scrapes over speed bumps. Im thinking maybe I need higher engine mounts or stiffer springs (maybe my ride height is too low).. Anyone else have exhaust clearance problems after installing racing beat header?

eh, I have the full dual system, and it sits a bit lower than the stock system did, but not much...

The lowest point on my car before was the factory cats, and now it's the pre-silencers...


And my car is SHORT
