SkiBumBrian Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 (edited) Remember, Thorleys are the only headers that you can by for our Pathys that are CARB legal....I live in CA so I know I had to have them. Your state? YMMV Edited April 8, 2014 by SkiBumBrian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jarrod90p Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 My truck is fuel injected Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jarrod90p Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 I live in Washington and every site I look at says may not be legal in ca. Doesn't say anything about wa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Precise1 Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 Yes all 1990+ are fuel injected. If you have smog tests (I thought they did in Seattle) then you have to get headers that have the threaded hole for the EGR piping, but I don't know if the Pace Setters have that or not. To be sold in California, components have to be CARB certified which means to be design evaluated/tested to prove they do not increase emissions. Doug Thorley headers (made in California incidentally) are the only ones available for a Pathfinder that are CARB certified and can be sold in Ca.

adamzan Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 I have the pacesetters and they do have the EGR port on them. I also have emissions testing here and it passes perfectly (two times so far) with the headers and my horribly pieced together exhaust that goes after them lol.

k9sar Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 yep, pacesetters have the EGR port. Mine were slightly misaligned but it was easy enough to bend a degree or two in the EGR tube to get it to fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jarrod90p Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 any recommendations for an intermediate pipe i have emissions in august and am replacing my exhaust completely header back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k9sar Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 I just picked the cheapest one available through rockauto.com. Probably a Walker which is basically crap but the price was right and it's lasted several years so far. I use a high temp paint for all my exhaust products to try to cut down on the effect of the northeast salts in the winters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
89Rotary Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 So, in addition to ordering my Lift kit i'm trying to get some headers too. Considering Pacesetter. and obviously hearing mix reviews about them. i've used Pacesetter on my FC for a long time, and only issue i had was cracking (which was due to a failed motor mount) so what are the common issues with Headers on Pathfinders?? (Minus the head Stud Issues. i work at nissan.... i know about them lol) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamzan Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 They don't fit properly at all, the set I got had to be cut and they rusted badly after just one winter. I will probably have to buy the thorleys at some point because I was being cheap the first time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpecialWarr Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 I took a bracket off of the rear driver's side valvecoverwireholder thingy that is directly in the way of the flange on #6 tube... damned pain once everything is on and in place. sent from under Ernest the Pathfinder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
