Differences in headers

Post by mxer4eva »

I was wondering is there any difference between the headers on a k8 and those of the ones found a a klde or a klze.

My reasoning for asking is that the intake manifold from a klde/ze flows better in comparison to that of the K8. Thus wouldnt the exhaust manifold be slightly larger to help get all the spent exhaust gases out of the engine. the Kl engine has nearly a liter more of displacment, .7 to be exact. Thus wouldnt that require a better flowing exhaust system.

If any one could answer this for me it would be greatly appericated.

I believe stock manifold are the same (klze and k8 are the same so...)and headers can be adapted to the car by pushing the cat a foot or 2 back
