USA Header!

[AVE0SAM]

its going to be a pain in the ass to taylor it for the stock exhaust and probably less gain and if your gonna put a header on you minds as well get an exhaust done because you wont accomplish anything with just the header

well you know i've got my entire exhaust done except for a header

man headers would just set it off for the aveo, i wonder how it would sound?

I guess we'll find out

I hope the quality is decent. $250 for a custom header is about 50% of what it should be. My guess: new fabricator that doesn't know what he's getting into, and doesn't realize he's undercharging. I expect to see low-grade aluminized steel and poor MIG welding. Be careful!

$250 isn't THAT low. We were building really high quality headers for the 2.0, coming with a 5 year warranty against welds and defects and I was having someone build them for me then selling them for $300-$330. I think the mark up was 30% on my part.

talked to him again today, said he can make it in a weekend with my car as the test model (wont be for a few weeks though since im going out of town). He says he'll use good steel and TIG welding. Also I'm trying to convince him to maybe make a supercharger kit for us, but we'll see how it goes with the header first.

As for ceramic coating, when I got my new phone the number for the place did not transfer over and I cannot find it in the phone book, so next time I'm over that way I'll swing in there and ask (maybe next Monday if I have free time)

What can I say, someone has to to help our little cars get going!

I think youre car will be fine for the test car because the header is going to be replacing part of the downpipe, and most of us who want the header already has their custom bent exhaust. So all should be fine.
