Does anyone know if i can put headers on this thing? and if so what kind?

Judging by your name I assume you have an 1989 LX. If so your best bet would be the factory header from an 86-90 Escort GT 1.9. It comes with a header from the factory and it should bolt right on to your car. You will probably need the cat for the GT as well but it should be a pretty much bolt on affair.

Cool thanks im going to look into that... but its so damn hard to find parts for this car... I refuse to give up i just got a good price on a T25 turbo charger and it should fit

so even though it says 91-96 CAT from a GT its still gonna fit my 89? And the Headers should fit too? cause I dont want to have to get all this and it dont fit...

I made an error on my last post. I meant to say 86-90 Escort GT. 91+ stuff won't work.

Yeah, OK, see, a header and a turbo are not compatible exhaust components. One or the other, but not both. Matt, I'm surprised you didn't catch that one.

I did see that but didn't feel like explaining the whole thing right then. There are headers that you use in turbo applications though, just none that are a direct bolt-on for his car.
