Pacemaker or Proflow headers uk

[SKM1984]

Just wondering if anyone knows a place in the UK that supply pacemaker or proflow headers?

I've sent an email to raceparts uk who according to the proflow website are a UK dealer

If you want Proflow, go direct to VPW in Oz. Landed with duty shipping and tax should work out just under £700 landed.

When I brought mine a year ago from there it only cost me about £450 landed?

Should be cheaper now as the Ozzie dollar is 2.10 to the pound.

On the subject of these headers, when you search for them what should I look for to ensure they fit my Monaro VXR? I get a touch confused with the VE/VZ etc etc and the wikipedia page left me even more confused lol. I always thought a Monaro VXR LS2 was the VZ?

Would these be a straight swap for the standard ones ? Or is it still a case of chopping an welding to make them fit?

Just seen today that pacemaker have 2" headers for the GTS. Not sure of price yet though...

The proflow heaers fit the engine out of the box but the cat pipes would need cutting and the supplied flanges/reducers welding in place along with decat or aftermarket cats fitting

Check, but I think yours is an HSV Coupe GTO (V2)

Isn't it the HSV Coupe GTS?

Don't think so. That had a Reeves Callaway hand built engine.

Yup, just re-read the text about them all. V2 GTO indeed.

I found these on the bay from Australia. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Commodore-VE-V8-6ltr-Gen...

I was wondering if they would they fit an LS2 Monaro VXR obviously with the modifications and fitment information listed in this thread.

I thought your car was an LS1? If so, I would stick with that. No point in making life too complicated, and the LS1 headers will be just as efficient as the LS2 ones.

Sorry, in that case, your car is an HSV GTO Coupe (Z Series).

The price shipped for:

Headers
Gaskets
New stainless bolts

£470

So I bet your around 600ish landed?

The LS1/LS2 headers on the Monaro are the same afaik (the LT ones anyway).

What I found what that if you order the cats that go with them (which you'll want/need for the MOT) then they will meet up with the cat back exhaust. This is what I found with mine. The difference between the LS1 and LS2 is that the cat back part is different (obviously it splits at the back) but also the angle/length of the cats required is different too.
