Sounds like Deezil13 is confusing the exhaust pipe and headers. The 2 1/4 is the size of the exhaust pipe, right? The header is a set of tubes that replace the exhaust manifolds between the engine and the exhaust pipe.

RE: (URGENT) stock headers
Thanks. Yeah I didnt know that i didnt have headers. They look the same pretty much. Yeah i kinda figured they werent stock because i am pretty sure the guy that previously owned the car was doing everything and just waiting to but the engine in. I have talked to him and he wanted to drop a new engine in but just decided to work on his Chevelle instead. I know i have to be pushing more than stock because of the 2 1/4in cast iron manifolds. Thanks guys though. Now i know i dont have headers.....One other question...how did he get bigger cast iron manifold? and can i get any bigger ones?

RE: (URGENT) stock headers
ohh ok that makes sense. I'm guessing the manifold is pretty hard to find a performance one for a 2.8 v6? I have found a lot of other parts but no manifold. Do you think this would be anygood for a converter?UNIVERSAL - HIGH PERFORMANCE CATALYTIC CONVERTER: Non-Polished, 8% Less BackPressure To Increase Horsepower And Torque and Still OBD II Compliant in 49 States (Except California) I dont have to worry about admissions so i was thinking also about just taking out the cat.

A high flow Cat is not going to help you at all and taking it out is also not going to help. Also your car is NOT a OBDII car and you only need to meet emission standards for your State. Just relize the facts that a 2.8 is not going to be a mean hi power street machine. Try making the car look good is my suggestion.
