Headers and cats

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?

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

Don't think it matters what size drive is with shorties. Only really affects US mid and long tube headers on our cars.

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 much

save your money, whack on some 5.7vxr stubbies and be happy and spend the cash you save elsewhere

Pacemakers are looking good, I know some on here have them, and I'm not referring to VXR8 owners heart devices.

We only need those devices because the VXR8 is so exciting to drive

I've seen pacemakers that were corroded/seriously pitted inside a year but that was some time ago so hopefully the quality is better.

My pacemakers have been on car about three years, still look great and bright
