what style headers fit a stock exhaust 88 lx

i put a stainless off road hpipe on my car the other night but since its an old car i bent the flange thats on the factory headers. i called around looking for a passenger header but no one seems to have one. so then i figgured i might as well buy some. the long headers i looked at had a place for the O2 sensor so i thought there too long because my h pipe has holes for the O2's. and then when i looked at shorties they looked right. but will they fit my hpipe? like i just bought it and i dont want to end up with a set of headers on that i need to buy new exhaust for.

thanks :2:

1 5/8 unequal length. Equal length are a PITA *** to install and there isn;y much gain over the unequal ones.


This is assuming that you have stock or unported aftermarket street/strip heads.

Hell, unless you are making more than 300HP headers don't really make any difference at all in power (vs home ported stockers). If you're looking for a little difference in sound pick up some 1 5/8 flow tech unequal shorties from Crappy Tire lol

yep the stockers are the best flowing around under 4000 RPM, its above that when they start to make a difference.
