anyone purchase those SKY Competition Header Package from anywhere? and how well do they work?

**todaresqSL2** · 03-21-2008, 06:47 AM

I have them... they work well, however I need to tighten some of the bolts, for I have a leak. Some of the bolts can be a bit hard to get to due to the tubing. Not sure if they adjusted any of the angles in future versions.

I have the Focuz Tr-y Long tubes/Free Flow Cat to get the full use of the header you will need a ECM tune but they will make a big difference ...Seal9

I have Seal9's old ClearImageAutomotive Shorty Headers and hi-flow Cat. They, along with a PCMforLess retune, have made a remarkable difference in performance, low end torque and fuel economy.

Have you had any "codes" result from this installation?
I did (without the header).
Are you happy with the quality of the exhaust sound with the Hi Flow cat or did you add a resonator?

I monitored it with a DashHawk for several days after installation and had no problems with any codes. The exhaust sound is fine at cruise. Loses it's deep tone on heavy acceleration.

thanks sky 07!!!

also one more question, where would i get a ecm tune if i purchase the headers?

**todaresqSL2** · 03-22-2008, 07:29 AM

Saturn Motorsports has both the header package and ECM tune. One stop shopping.

if i dont get the tune will it deter power, or just not give its full ability? i also have Cool Air intake and a cat back exhaust. on the Red Line

A PCM tune allows your engine to take advantage of all of the modifications you have made.

Is the header package only for the 2.4l non-turbo model or can they be used/installed on the 2.0l turbo Redline?

I have the SMS header and Tune adds significant power. Went from a 16.5 to a 15.3 on my dash hawk.
