Default pic request

I am looking for a picture of some 98 gs3 headers. i saw the headers on a 2000 and they look nothing like mine. all of my buddies think that mine are aftermarket but Im not sure. i was thinking about getting some s&s headers but now Im not sure.

I do believe they are stock but the earlier years of the GS just didnt have a heat shield...

Your header is the stock header. You can see the two factory cats. Your year GS header's runners do look like they are aftermarket though. I believe that is why the early year GS3's were rated at 225hp and the later years (I originally thought '01-'05 but you confirmed '00 are different) at 220hp. So I guess the '98 and '99 only had your type of manifold.

These aren't my pics but my header from my '02 GS3 is the same as this one from a '00 GS3.




BTW, S&S headers are only for the GS4s. I will probably have a Mazzuri header (biggest bolt-on gain for 2jzge) for sale soon, so keep your eyes on the classifieds if you are interested.
