Concealer404's KLZEscort thread

[concealer404]

Wait, those are unequal length as well? I wonder if they're ALL unequal, and the Pacesetter bitching is just uninformed. I know the Pacesetters make the most power.

ARG. Decisions. Though... $108 is cheap, and i like cheap at this stage in the build. I added up everything i've paid so far last night and i started to convulse.

I wouldn't have thought the ebay headers to be that far apart for the primary lengths, they're so short to begin with lol, that's crazy.

I think you're right Ben, all unequal length, pacesetters were probably easier to spot visually than the ebays since they' re twice the length as the ebay ones haha.

[concealer404]

Ok, so the ebay headers are "Shorties," and the Pacesetters could be considered "long tube" then?

Wonder if i'd run into clearance issues with the Pacesetters...

[Mazda_Powered]

I haven't heard of any clearance issues before, but ya the way you compared them is a safe bet to describe them.

Just got my KL headers today. $108 shipped, cheapest ones on Ebay. So far they appear to be great! Pics in a few minutes.

You got a link to which ones they were? I'm seeing a couple different ones out there....

These LOOK good... but they're also $130. (Gasp, OH NO!!! )

I'd be psyched about the light gold-ish color... Because i'm a ricer.

[The Pile]

yes there is clearance issues with the pacesetters. The rear headerflange will hit the subframe.

Unless you feel like hacking it up and losing the flange like I did.. Just buy the ebayers.

Sounds like this decision suddenly became easy.

I'll be hollering at you in a couple weeks if you're still down to come help me out for $ and beer. Lots of beer.

DNAmotoring is the seller. Cant get my computer to highlight the link


They look exactly the same as your link. I think that goldish is background color.

[concealer404]

LOL!!!

WTF happened with that link?

[CODY004WD]

haha edited it before you could quote! My computer is wack right now. when I try to highlight links it goes to jibberish apparently.

[concealer404]

Ah ok, cool man! That's cheap!

Anyways... new update:

Exhaust is here... Thought it was just going to be a cat-back, but apparently it's the whole thing? Nice surprise. Already has an o2 bung in it, so i don't have to worry about that. The fart cannon is a bit bigger than i was expecting, though. :p

that's awesome! cost much? I can't wait to get my exhaust in a few months lol

[concealer404]

I got a good deal.... paid $200 shipped. :p

You know BGs better than me... what am i looking at? Is this the full exhaust header back? Do i have both a cat and a resonator there?

[Mazda_Powered]

yea it's a test pipe that replaced the cat converter, then the CS resonator. What was this on? BP powered? idk if it'll bolt up to the KL headers or not.

Oh wow.... I don't think Corksport has sold that for a long time... I've only seen the cat-back on their site since, well, since i got the Escort.

It was on a GTR powered Escort to the best of my knowledge.

It's not going to bolt up to the KL headers, but it should be pretty easy to take care of. I have to get it welded back together from where it was cut for shipping anyways.
