GTS Headers have arrived

[Tattooboy]

Now to get them fitted

[007 VXR]

[Sarge 4x4]

Would not want them to weld up my Zimma !!!!

[Tattooboy]

Exactly the same welds on your old VX, I'm not fussy, they'll be fine

[preciousmetal]

[GruFFnuTT]

Bring the noise!!!

[neiljohnson]

Did they come with gaskets?

No, just the donuts, will I need/should I get some ?

Well if they are the same as they fitted to my old Banana I would not have been pleased but they worked well.

Very surprised at the POOR welding though on them.

I am waiting for the new headers and 3" exhaust for the Gen-F, think Defilpo are making the new ones.

Then you need to speak to MYM8V8 re your new ones if they are Defillipo, they won't be much better!!!

Well, they are the WP ones and Donk has them on his car so I know they work and sound good, and are prob the same ones on you had on your banana I would assume?

Its probably best old ones will probably be ok but it will be a right pita if they are not!!

[S800VXR]

Ive almost dropped the credit card on these as well but I have to say the quality of the welding does leave ALLOT to be desired! No doubt they work but.....

You can always fork out another £800 for nicer welds

I'm confident WP will sort out any issues if I get them.

Not sure Id call them an upgrade over stock.
Id save for a proper set of long tubes IMO.

They really are classy - and still looked to be in good nick, when I saw them over the weekend. They certainly seem to stand up to British weather well.

Tattooboy,
The Walky headers have had their knockers in the past, but as long as you're not intending to polish them and show them off, they will be fine. They don't seem to fall apart. It's good that they even come with heat shields - but then I would have thought they'd be longer, with that welding.

Yeah they look good. Whats the merge look like inside the collector?

Actually Mate, those headers make my DFs look pristine, hope they weren't much to buy. All new DF's are now made by Pacemaker so they will be good.

These Pacemaker Long Tubes were £800 including the ceramic coating.

I stand corrected on the DF's as the last I heard about your last set was that you were far from happy with them. Sounds like that's changed, so Sarges stuff should be fine then

If yours were £800 for the headers, cats and ceramic coating for £800 delivered, then that's a very good price as mine were a bit more, £1300 all in.

I can't see what all the fuss is with regards to the welding, you won't see most of it ??
