Headers

The pacesetter site says the headers it offers for I6 87-96 is for two wheel drive only. Does this matter? Will it fit a four wheel drive? If not where can I find one that will fit an 87 4X4? THNx

Dynomax headers will fit in a '89 4X4 with a bit of grinding on the frame.

Last night as a matter of fact. Part of the frame sticks out to the point where the header was going to rub and it made it PITA to drop the engine in.

20 minutes with a grinder was all it took.

The Dynomax headers weren't the best quality out of the box. Part of the cardboard box had adhered itself to the headers, they may have stuck the headers in the box with wet paint. There were quite a few nasty runs and I had to clean up 3 out of the 6 ports.

But for $140 I really can't complain.

I used 1200 degree stove paint from Lowes to repaint the headers, hopefully this will keep them looking good.
