Headers and cats
Discussion

Hi,
I have JBA shortie headers from the US and they don't foul the steering at all. The advantage being that they can be fitted as a direct replacement for cast headers and therefore existing exhausts (aftermarket or production) will fit back without modification.
in my case I had a custom 2.5" fully stainless exhaust made including 100 cell cats and then got the stainless JBA from the US for about $600 including ceramic coating, at a later date.
Do you have a link? I have JBA shortie headers from the US and they don't foul the steering at all. The advantage being that they can be fitted as a direct replacement for cast headers and therefore existing exhausts (aftermarket or production) will fit back without modification.

Also if they are for LHD cars, can they be altered easily? Or not worth the trouble?

Advantages - a little extra power, 10bhp? (which you wont notice in a 1700kg car) and lots of extra noise (which you definately will notice )
Disadvantages - just the cost!
what he said. Save your money, if you need headers and have a CV8 look for some 5.7vxr stubbies otherwise save yer cash. The headers will be close to your steering, you'll relocate the cats its a ball ache for no real decent returns, even noise isnt that muchDisadvantages - just the cost!
save your money, whack on some 5.7vxr stubbies and be happy and spend the cash you save elsewhere
