Default QUICK, ordering pacesetters, race header or 00-02 with egr?

I'm ready to order my headers, but am not sure if I need race headers or the ones with egr fitting for my 00' WS6.


the tsp duals system has no cats, which is alright, ohio just got rid of it's emissions program, but if the state decides to bring it back I need to beable to pass emissions, therefore I need to beable to install cats and have them function. But I do not tottally understand this EGR/AIR crap, it's making me crazy.

I would prefer to leave it all as is and have it hooked up to the new headers, as it was to the stock manifolds. That way all I would need to do is install cats if the E-check comes back someday. Can this be done with the 00-02 headers with EGR? race headers do not have this therefore I guess it can't be hooked up, which I wouldn't mind, but if I need emissions again i'm screwed.


What should I do?

If you want to get the EGR/AIR headers, you can always cap the openings off, It may look funny, but if the E check comes back, you'll be set

Okay, that's what I figured.


Now, assuming I get the 00'-02' will the EGR/AIR crap hook up directly to it? and finally, if I decide to simply not using the EGR/AIR fittings and plug it, how can I disable it? I read the tutorials on removing it already.

So is there one or 2 fittings on the headers? I don't understand if the EGR/AIR stuff is the same thing, or they both are supplied off of one line to the header, or if there is a seperate fitting for AIR and EGR.

Make sure you get the '00, the 01-02 has no egr stock
Disable are you talking about the codes, or the system its self
AFAIK there are 2 fittings one for the egr and one for the air, and they are supplied from different things

On tsp's site in the drop box for the headers it has a race header, 98'-99' and 00'-02' selection. if 01-02 have no egr how can it be fore 00's too?

Maybe they meant for it to be 98'-00' and 01'-02'? crap

Dunno, your best bet is to give them a call, and find out what's up

I ordered my pacesetters for 00-02 and they came with both egr and air fittings, I think if you have an 01-02 you just cap off the egr fitting. If you get 00-02 w/emissions you will be just fine. Speed Inc sells the block off plates and new gaskets, and then you'll be able to use the emissions in the future if needed.
