So my cheap headers have arrived. Time will tell if they fit without modification. Total cost:
£180.37 + £55.29 P&P and £40(odd) duty






The stainless cat pipes cost £219.99 off eBay. I'll be adding a pair of stainless 200-cell cats before having it bolted on to the stainless cat-back I also sourced from eBay.

I'm now thinking about ordering some long-tubes to see what it would take to modify them for right hand drive.

Also very short but then they are a compromise aren't they compared to full length headers. Hopefully better then OE ones at least.

The primaries are round, not 'D' shaped, so must be better than the cast originals. scratchchin

These are small and won't maximize performance. That's by design. I wanted shine equivalents of the 2004 VXR headers. I ended up with a end to end stainless system for under 800 notes. hoping the system will match a stock VXR setup.

If the collector is 2.5" then I think they will be better than OEM anyway.

Its like the camaro exhaust I got. Full stainless headers and Y Pipe for £250. Hard to refuse.

Shows how we can get raped on prices of other right hand drive stuff.

What is the collector diameter?

Nice buy BTW.

Collector is 3.5-inches wide reducing to a 2-inch outlet. It is 3.25-inches long.

2 inch exit is a bit crap.

It's only two inches because of the need to mate with a stock sized cat pipe. If you removed the last half inch it opens to just under three inches.
