Pretty much any SB side exhaust header will fit it. When I had one, I ran it in a t-maxx with a traxxas header. Make sure to get a few exhaust gaskets as well.

cool thanks ......was it a good engine ...how did it perform ? ..i got a new one for cheap ...how is it compared to a 3.3 ??...i expect it to have a bit less power because its smaller ...but it should be pretty similar

Was a hair stronger than the 2.5, but nothing outrageous.

Yeah. Be careful with the recoil, the spring is pretty fragile. Mine broke when breaking it in. I reformed the end of the spring and rewound it and it worked fine.
