92 93 aftermarket header

So I recently purchased an srs 4-2-1 header for my 93 da that was listed as fitting 92-93 models. The only problem is the downpipe comes up about 2-2.5 inches short of fitting the catalytic converter. Is this normal of an aftermarket 4-2-1 header for a g2? If not I’ll probably reinstall the stock manifold.

Pretty common for most aftermarket to not match up perfectly they sell adjustable test pipes but I live in a place with no smog testing

If it’s marketed to your specific year then it should fit. But if it doesn’t then:

  1. The manufacturer is junk and made a part that doesn’t actually fit as it should.
  2. Something on your car is not stock and was changed previously which is now making your header not fit.

I’d try to find a more reputable brand, like DC Sports, if you want a true bolt on header. Or you can just have your setup modified to fit at a muffler shop.

I ended up having a local shop make an extended piece with a universal magnaflow cat and an adjustable test pipe.
