Aftermarket Performance Header

Post by GAPnedo »

I just started to upgrade my 2003 Vibe GT with some bolt on aftermarket parts and Im looking to purchase a header next. After some research, Ive decided to go with the DC Sports Header, but since its not listed for the Vibe, Im looking for it under the Matrix XRS. However, I want to make sure that I purchase the exact fit. Any help with the DC Sports Part Number, from Vibe GT owners, who have this Header would be greatly appreciated.

Everyone I've talked to has told me that the stock manifold is better than the aftermarket ones for the 2ZZ in the GT...I'm sure some GT owners will provide input soon.

yes, most just port and polish the stock one... it flows better than the dc. It was proven by a member on MO that it actually reduced HP
