Would a vitara 8v exhaust header bolt into the stock OEM Sierra exhaust system or would i have to use the original Sierra ones if i swapped the G13BA head with one from a G16a

Wreckers please help ;)

The aftermarket vitara 8v and Sierra 1.3 headers are the same to my knowledge.

in light of all the other threads i thought i bup this Post ;)

I have finally scored a cultus engine and was thinking about the custom header. As i will be leaving the exhaust a stock for the next few weeks/months i am toying around with options for the Twin CAM flange welded unto an oem extractor/exhaust.

The vitara ones i've seen on the web look to be a different shape to the log barrel design of the Sierra one and is probably less restrictive being for a ever so slightly larger engine.

So if it bolts into place i might as well take the vitara one as i want to have one pre-built and ready to bolt into place
(not to mention i can reverse it all back to a SOHC if something goes wrong :) )

You dont want an oem vitara one cos they've vrey prone to cracking..... but if it's free yeah why not I suppose.
