Wagner 2.0 N/A Header Installed!

Now if your getting the DP with a CAT that makes sense. That I would get his midpipe with just the resinator and no cat, or 2 resonators....no need for 2 cats when going aftermarket. and at that point if all the piping is bigger than your HKS you can either have it cut and have 2.5 piping welded to the can or get a 2.5 axle back to replace it.
I plan to do exactly what you mentioned. But was'nt the wagner mid-pipe intended to bolt-on to the stock axle-back??
 
yes, and im not saying it wont work, cause it will, im just saying if you were trying to keep the same diameter piping all the way back, and that on the HKS is smaller you could always keep the muffler and just replace the piping, should be pretty cheap at a local shop since they are taking off as much piping as they are puting on, just different ID.

edit also, when you get done with the DP and are getting the midpipe let us know how much the quote is for his midpipe without the cat...
 
hey guys, i got my wagner header installed too. looks great. i just did it this morning so i'm not ready to speak on any gains, etc. i plan to run my car at the track this friday, so we'll see how it goes.

anyway, i wish i would have found this thread sooner.. i torqued my manifold bolts down too hard and broke one of them. it's the one on the top left (see attached pic).. it's going to need to be drilled out now :(

does anyone have any suggestions on drilling it out? do you think i could drill into it with an easy out then back it out?? i've never had to deal with this before..

here are the pics (1 of the broken bolt and 1 of the header after taking it out for a 10 min fun run)..
