I use this header in my '99 DOHC 2.0LR/T along with a Pacesetter short pipe header and an upgraded 2.5" exhaust pipe. And I've used it with another neon I had about 10 years ago (with stock exhaust manifold). Installation is as good as standard when used with factory tubing and headers. It will need to be trimmed a bit to fit aftermarket headers and large exhaust pipes. Not much of a test if you upgrade your exhaust system like I did. I like this item over cheaper shaft replacements because it is slightly lighter and flexes after the spool is bent by the mandrel rather than flexing like the shaft. Not for long pipe collectors!
