Why don't you ask WP ? I am sure they will know.

clearly you are not talking about the stock ones? I guess the major factor is going to be what exhaust system you have

Ian, think you will need to speak to WP as your car has the 3in Cat Back exhaust that was only available from WP in Aus, as I was talking with Tim about your car @ WP yesterday (how good it was)

give MF a call too, I doubt the headers would be 3in due to packagaging so I'd be surprised if they either don't bolt on or can be adapted.

Or does your car have uprated headers already?

The engine, chassis rails and inner wings are the same on all VE (and VF I believe) cars, so no reason why they shouldn't fit.

I guess you've seen the Walkinshaw offering? http://www.walkinshawperformance.com.au/wp/au/prod...

Yes thanks ARAF, just waiting on a price smile

Was just enquiring really whether the Wortec ones for an R8 were an option as well.

Maybe Donk could help? I think he did a lot of chopping and changing on his first VXR8, and I think ended up with a hybrid system.

Something like that, I'm only going to polish it once a week now so my stock will last longer ! hehe

Although I have purchased some Natty's Blue to try as Stig seems to like it so much ??
