So in my other post I mentioned the incredibly cheap 1 7/8 to 3.5 proflow headers. So they turned up after 6 days in FedEx hands.

Overall I'm very pleased. Full photos on here. With pics of the welds and downsize pipes https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.44067546...

For the purpose of this post couple attached below.

The pipes are stainless and are not magnetic so should be an ok grade. The flanges look to be steel. Welds are ok. Nothing special but clean. The collector is to really the poor bit but nothing looks like it would cause a performance issue. The collector seems like it will flow well enough. TBH if there was a need to push a 3.5 inch exhaust I would get them reworked. But at 1/2 to 1/3 of the price of any other headers this size.....

Looking at the inside welds there clean and smooth making for good flow too. For those interested I will have these at SRR on Saturday for anyone interested in looking at them. They also do VY and VE sets.

The downsize pipes are clean too and look show the welding off well.

Including the extended lambda looms it was 915AUD delivered? I have not received a tax bill yet.

If i do get taxed it should be about 650ish with the exchange rate. BARGAIN.....

The company I used was VPW.com.au. Speak to Joe or Aaron and tell them I recommended them. You will need to pay using Bank transfer.

As to the loom. It's just a short extension. Not a great photo but there just that. At 21AUD each it was worth it.

Yes it is. In stainless that would be nearer 1600+

Might be worth seeing how much it would cost to bring a few sets over. Hopefully the shipping cost should be reduced per item

These Chinese made Pro Flow headers (I am told on good authority) are a pretty close copy of the Pacemaker headers - apart from that collector - which isn't too bad I suppose.

I am talking to a company in Oz about a group buy.

Ant,
I assume you will bring these headers to SRR for others to have a look at, can you bring your act clutch aswell, I'd like to compare to the ls9 clutch which I'll have in my boot, perhaps others might want a look too....
