You will for sure need both block off plates if you delete EGR. And I would go with Two 2.5" clamps and Two 3" clamps because the clamps that come with Speed Daddy headers tend to crush the pipe which I didn't feel comfortable with. And the o2 extension is a must as well..

Okay so ive been searching for those headers on ebay but am having no luck. Where can i find all of these parts at??

Sorry I'm not having any luck finding Speed Daddys on eBay anymore. I believe they may have stopped making them. Not sure why though.

97-08 MONTE CARLO/REGAL GS EXHAUST HEADER 98 99 00 01 | eBay
^^These are almost identical though. They aren't Speed Daddys so I can't guarantee their fitment.


eBay - New & used electronics, cars, apparel, collectibles, sporting goods & more at low prices
Honestly I'd probably go with these if you can afford them. They were a little out of my range at the time I was looking for headers so that's the only reason I didn't get them.

Make sure that your vehicle has a CAI and is taking more air in, especially if you are adding headers to get air out of your engine quicker. Let me know if you have any questions, I would be happy to help!

Shipping is not Free, that was a temporary promotion that ended March 1st. It was supposed to be taken off of the website in the description, I am fixing that right now. If you want to place an order email me and I can give you a promo code that will take $10 off, which is pretty much shipping. Thanks!!

i wouldnt bother buying the erg block off plates form zzp. just cut the tubes on each side of the erg and pull off the mounting tabs then use black rvt and a penny to seal the hole and bolt it back on the the lower intake and header. it costs .02 (assuming u have the rvt already) and it does work perfect, this is how i bolcked mine off on my turbo monte

Hey guys. I am looking at a High Velocity throttle body and was wondering if I needed a high velocity fuel pump to match the demands of the new throttle body. Thanks!
