l67ss Posted April 27, 2014 Report Posted April 27, 2014 Was pokin round ebay and came accross fwd 3800 headers new for $160 shipped. I know theyre inferior quality and need some welding before use. I figure at $160 its worth messing with. My question is for anyone running them on a 1g, any tips for fitment etc etc? Thanks Quote
carkhz316 Posted April 27, 2014 Report Posted April 27, 2014 Everywhere I've searched indicates that one has to smash the heck out of the firewall/ downpipe area to get them to fit; or cutting and welding that section for fitment. It's what I planned on doing someday. Quote

nitehawkjcb Posted April 28, 2014 Report Posted April 28, 2014 Douchebag firewall. I think 5th gen Montes are 1.5 gen. Quote
l67ss Posted April 28, 2014 Author Report Posted April 28, 2014 Yup1.5, but as far as drivetrain fitment, 1st gen Douchebag firewall. I think 5th gen Montes are 1.5 gen. Quote
l67ss Posted April 28, 2014 Author Report Posted April 28, 2014 We have the advantage of being able to use gen 2 strut assemblies tho on the rear Ah. Gotta love it. Quote

Imp558 Posted August 17, 2014 Report Posted August 17, 2014 (edited) I see there's several E-Bay headers in the $350 range, same pic with different part numbers. http://www.ebay.com/itm/STAINLESS-MANIFOLD-HEADER-DOWNPIPE-KIT-97-03-GRAND-PRIX-REGAL-IMPALA-3-8L-L36-/181259638193?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item2a33ea95b1&vxp=mtr http://www.ebay.com/itm/TUBULAR-HEADER-MANIFOLD-DOWNPIPE-EXHAUST-97-03-GRAND-PRIX-REGAL-IMPALA-3-8L-L36-/171160872570?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item27d9fba67a&vxp=mtr http://www.ebay.com/itm/SS-EXHAUST-MANIFOLD-HEADER-EXTRACTOR-DOWNPIPE-GRAND-PRIX-GTP-REGAL-IMPALA-3-8L-/231100211793?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item35cea56251&vxp=mtr I'm assuming they're Speed Daddy because of the pics, are they worth 350? http://www.ebay.com/itm/RACING-HEADER-MANIFOLD-DOWNPIPE-EXHAUST-97-03-GRAND-PRIX-REGAL-IMPALA-3-8L-L36-/190942862984?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item2c7514de88&vxp=mtr Also a set of OBX on for that price right now. http://www.ebay.com/itm/OBX-Exhaust-Header-99-05-Pontiac-Grand-Am-3-8L-V6-3800-Headers-/181495957473?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item2a420087e1&vxp=mtr Edited August 17, 2014 by Imp558 Quote
nitehawkjcb Posted August 17, 2014 Report Posted August 17, 2014 Other than the 1.5" primaries, they look decent. I was only aware that the primaries of other headers were 1.625 for NA or 1.75 for supercharged. Quote
Imp558 Posted August 17, 2014 Report Posted August 17, 2014 Here's 1.750 Primaries for $225 = $25 shipping, and they're mild steel so one end of the crossover could meet my mig welder if it gave me shit: http://www.ssautochrome.com/level.itml/icOid/1886 Quote
nitehawkjcb Posted August 17, 2014 Report Posted August 17, 2014 Not bad, the only con I see is mild steel. But that price is unbeatable. And it's got a 3" downpipe? I might want a set of those lol just not ready to hack up the firewall yet. Quote
Imp558 Posted August 17, 2014 Report Posted August 17, 2014 In my region mild steel is certain to die faster but I like being open to the possibility of welding that flange that tends to leak, I wish they just welded the back one during fabrication since it shouldn't complicate the install much anyway Quote
