So plans have changed things have gone a different direction. I believe somewhere in my research ive read that Ka24 headers will work on the CA. can anyone confirm this. Im redoing my entire exhaust. figured why not see if we can get a better rumble. Next question do i need to use Ka24e or DE headers. it looks as if DE uses two O2 sensors. My CA only uses one. It looks as if the Ka24e headers have just one 02 sensor slot. Thanks for any input.

Quick answer: no. Sorry buddy. You could probably buy a CA18 exhaust flange and some KA24E headers and cut and weld them to fit.

I KNOW the bolt pattern is different, so you'd at least have to have the flange cut and re-welded. At worst it's totally off and you'd be better off having something built from scratch. Any decent exhaust shop should be able to build a set of headers.

header. HEADER! It's singular. Raginasian might still have a CA header.

We're from Amurika. We're used to pushrod V8's with carbs and those use headers. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm off to get my mullet trimmed before I marry my pregnant sister later today. IROC! [/redneck rant]
