E10- Geo Tracker / Suzuki Sidekick Header and Fabricated Exhaust Install 8V 4x4 Budget Build!

[@benwille6680]

This might be your best video yet !!

[@DeathTollRacing]

Thanks!!! It was one of the easiest ones I've made.

[@musclekingmedia]

Awesome work man. But extending wires if done right won’t change a thing. Big motivation for my 95 build!

[@DeathTollRacing]

For an instructional video, it’s safer just to not to avoid people some frustration.

[@musclekingmedia]

@@DeathTollRacing🫡 agree 100%

[@67JD110]

Excellent work on the last few videos I can't wait to see it back on the trail with all the upgrades!

[@DeathTollRacing]

You and me both! Hopefully weather will cooperate!

[@joell439]

Well….. there you have it….. super fancy exhaust install with groovy 70’s music. 👍👍😎👍👍.

[@DeathTollRacing]

That had to be about the easiest system I’ve ever done, but it turned out awesome and sounds fantastic for a $30 muffler

[@junktruckparts4355]

Awe come on. Now you're just showin off with the paint. Love it!!

[@DeathTollRacing]

Lol. Thanks!!

[@bobbyhoag2525]

Great video! Helpful tip on the oxygen sensor....I just bought the one that comes with extra wire and cut to length when I did mine.

[@DeathTollRacing]

Thanks for the info! That came to mind also, but I could not find one with a long enough lead. Do you happen to know the part number from your purchase history?

[@bobbyhoag2525]

Not sure of the exact part number as my buddy owns a shop and picked it up for a discount. I do know that it probably came from Advance Auto and just a quick search yielded several "universal" models. The first for a 94 8v.....mine......is a bosch and the connectors are the same as mine. What it does is splice into your old wiring so you can use as much of it as needed. Hope this helps someone

[@johnberger9534]

Very clean looking after all said and done!

[@DeathTollRacing]

Thanks!

[@kevinmattson8441]

Great video!! You should include in the description what tools you used. I really like the tube cutter and the exhaust flaring tool

[@DeathTollRacing]

The flaring tool is a custom one I came up with here---> kzbin.info/www/bejne/iX6qmHqieNidfLM As for the cutting tool it's nothing special. But here's the one I'm using. ---->www.amazon.com/GEARWRENCH-2031DD-Exhaust-Tailpipe-Cutter/dp/B000M93OUM/ref=sr_1_4?dchild=1&keywords=exhaust+cutter&qid=1628384715&sr=8-4

[@kylegarcia1486]

What size of exhaust pipe did you run off the headers back??

[@DeathTollRacing]

I did 2 1/2, but it’s not necessary to be that big. I just had it left over from another project. It does sound pretty good though, so no regrets

[@Bamfalicous]

Did you notice any seat of the pants power gains ? Worth the trouble ?

[@DeathTollRacing]

Mine was very noticeable, but it also had super tiny exhaust on it. Like 1.25" I think. It actually sounds pretty sporty now. Revs a lot faster than I expected.

[@salrivera7578]

Amigo I wrote to you before but I want to let you know out here I have friends that they built the trackers with Honda parts they get the head and shave it port and polish they taste the intake manifold off they built a plate and put Honda intake manifold 72 tb on and they sent the distributor to Puerto Rico and they will recut the distributor and weld halg of Honda distributor and run a po8 ECM and make custom wiring for everything to work perfect and they regrind the cam to 272 and I can tell you become a monster in trails mud highway streets etc fast and strong like hell gd on gas with header and free flow exhaust system the sound is like a dp cobra Ford sound beautiful I don't how much power but man man sweet sixteen for what it is cheap to build and easy but the 16 valves is a beast climb like hell run the streets and highway like a race car but the sound is beautiful with such cam and combo a lot better than any other jp and automatic will take off like a light special with aluminum crank pulley I think the whole set up is around a g or less no bad at all for a nice performance geo

[@DeathTollRacing]

That sounds really cool. I’m thinking of selling mine and building something else currently. We will see

[@gypsonny2]

Great video 👍🏻 so I am doing this to my rig. I'd prefer a professional do this but my exhaust guy doesn't touch headers. He says "get it on yourself and I'll finish everything else". That's fine, I understand. I got a quote from a local shop to install the header, nothing else, and they're asking $930. I can't afford this, that's outrageous. Literally I need the first 60 seconds of this video done and I have a guy who will do everything else. How long did it take you do you think? Do you think it's an easy job for someone without experience?

[@DeathTollRacing]

Honestly, I know you can do it! The only thing that may get you stuck is if you have a broken manifold bolt. Other than that, it is very basic. Don’t forget the o2 sensor. I had to pull some of the wiring out of the loom and re route it on mine. Also very easy. Just moving wires, not re making them.

[@gypsonny2]

@@DeathTollRacing thanks for the reply! I change my own oil, dynalined my car and now I'm hyping myself up to do this work. It's a little scary because this is my daily. I'm going to PB Blast the bolts every day for a week to prepare for this

[@dandahermitseals5582]

Oh hell yeah. Cost??

[@DeathTollRacing]

The header is less than $200 on Amazon. Only for 8 valve though. 16 valve uses a different header and it’s a bit harder to find and much more expensive

[@offthewallmbell]

How did you relocate the o2 sensor? Was there enough wire wrapped up it would reach or did you extend the length to reach the bung as I have bought the same header. Thanks

[@DeathTollRacing]

It reached, but you have to un loom some of the wire from the harness so it won’t hit the header and melt.

[@allisonmangle5078]

Will this work on my 1996 geo tracker 1.6?

[@DeathTollRacing]

unfortunately the header is different on yours. It only fits the 8v ones and yours is probably a 16v. There are headers for the 16 valve though, and install is almost exactly the same. The only draw back is they are a bit more expensive. here's a really good one for it. lowrangeoffroad.com/suzuki/sidekick-tracker-x90-escudo-vitara-sunrunner-1989-1998/engine/exhaust-headers/16-v-thorley-header.html

[@allisonmangle5078]

Thank you

[@johnpedro4152]

Hey was just wondering what brand of oxygen sensor you using

[@DeathTollRacing]

Mines a Bosch, so far so good. 🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞

[@johnpedro4152]

Thanks! will be doing this to my tracker tomorrow just making sure I got everything

[@richardmarsden6516]

This sounds so good. Would you ever do a turbo conversion on this?

[@DeathTollRacing]

You know, I was thinking about that. Maybe?

[@ChasingOverland]

Would those headers work on a 16l 16v?

[@DeathTollRacing]

They do not unfortunately. Only the 8 valves.

[@ChasingOverland]

@@DeathTollRacing have any recommendations for headers and exhaust for a 16v?

[@DeathTollRacing]

@@ChasingOverland unfortunately you’re going to have to go name brand for the 16v as far as I know. Doug Thorley makes good stuff, but you have to pay 💰 for it. amzn.to/3T2reVu For the exhaust, I just make my own from mandrel pieces. 2 1/2” is big for these guys, 2 1/4 is probably as big as you’d need to go.

[@ChasingOverland]

@@DeathTollRacing thank you!

[@salrivera7578]

Gd job amigo I wonder how much horsepower power and torque that header and system will bring to the table

[@DeathTollRacing]

So it was a very noticeable improvement for sure. But mine also had VERY small exhaust on it prior, so it was choked a bit.

It sounds WAY better now. But then again, it had a 1" tailpipe before, so I think it was being choked a bit.

Join the dark side with me. I just bought a manifold and turbo for mine.
