Me&my86MJ Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 Help I can't seem to find aftermarket Header for my 86 2.5l. Ever supplier seems to say that the headers they make are for 91-2001 fit only. Please anyone with 2.5l help if you have aftermarket headers.

dasbulliwagen Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 Do you have emissions inspections in your state? If you don't. Buy one for the 91 and newer and block off the egr to the intake manifold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dasbulliwagen Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 They bolt in the same but don't have the connection for the renix egr system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dasbulliwagen Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 If you look at replacement stock manifolds they are the same part for egr or non egr systems. You just plug the egr port for the ones that don't need it. Therefore it can be extrapolated that the header like the one from aFe twisted steel that doesn't have an egr port will bolt right up.

dasbulliwagen Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 I bought the aFe for mine though I've yet to install it. There aren't many reviews out there for it yet but it seems like a really well made product. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me&my86MJ Posted October 18, 2015 Author Share Posted October 18, 2015 #<:(>,/ ?[\&=% ]>=:= [# $&>\.... Sorry for the profanities, now that I had the chance to remove my stock,and fully cracked 360 on #1, I see why 91 and newer headers don't work for my 86. The problem lies in the Intake manifold shape for my model. My intake is more squared and the newer style is more a horse shoe,giving the newer more space. Also the power steering bracket also interfered with #1 which I figured I could fix/cut/fabricate to work,then I relized my new headers pipes stick out to far,making it so the intake doesn't touch the head.
