FLP headers: Extra parts required? I'm planning on buying some FLP headers and I'm wondering what else will be needed. Will I need 02 sensors <img src="images/icons/confused.gif" border="0"> Oh, and my car is a 2001.

Re: FLP headers: Extra parts required? As far as I know for a 2001, you're going to need 02 sims, 98-99 AIR tubes, AIR tube restrictors, AIR tube gaskets, EGR block off plate, and EGR block off plate gasket. I've been looking at buying FLP's for quite some time. It seems they are made for 98-99 cars and that you have to buy the earlier tubes for the AIR system to connect properly. 2001 don't have an EGR so you'll have to block it off at the header. The AIR restrictors prevent a fluttering noise from occuring when the engine is running. From what I've read they can be made quite easily. I can't wait to order FLP's for myself soon. Hope this answers your question and good luck. <img src="graemlins/burnout.gif" border="0" alt="[Burnout]" />

They have headers built for 2001 cars. All you will need is O2 sims. Also you will need some rubber hose for the air pump line that is on the driver side, because the old one will not be long enough. They moved the air line one cylinder forward on the headers. I have them on my car and they fit and look great, it is a very complete kit with quality parts. I am sure you will be pleased with them.

Re: FLP headers: Extra parts required? I used the longest stock O2 sensors and re-routed the wiring so there would be no fried wire issues. So it is up to you if you want to go with extensions. I spent 1 1/2 hr's re-routing and zip stripping. You may want to get extra air line gaskets to. My car was pretty new still so they were still in good shape.
