Headers again

[Bonnie and Clyde]

I need to know if Walkinshaw Performance do headers as am addition to their Power pack?? I cant find it anywhere. Also if not would Wortec Headers fit onto a WPUK Bimodal exhaust ???
TIA

[Magic919]

I don't think so, TIA :-) They said there was no need for headers when I discussed it with them.

Regarding the exhaust system, I understand Wortec have made the design modular, in that it will match up to the fittings on the standard system. I'd expect Wortec headers and cats to be needed and they'll match the WPUK cat-back.

A wee bit off topic,but I was wondering if anyone else has fitted a Magnaflow cat-back system to their car. I know hsv v8 fitted one last year with a bit of adjustment to the rear hangers.They look good IMO and the price is more "Scottish" than some of the other options! Also,would a remap be essential? I suspect it would. Thanks.

That's on the 'Ro. HM headers I think.

Bonnie is talking R8 and the standard headers are more like the early VXR ones, i.e. tubular. WPUK told me they had none and no plans for any.

I would like to fit a full system to my VXR8 but a VX dealer said that if I went for anything more than an approved catback it would invalidate the warranty.
Is this true?

Sorry my bad, forgot they had both


Bonnie please please try a supercharged VXR8 before you spend your cash

Where are you? speak to Picador Vauxhall in Southampton cause S WO2TEC just had the headers and sports cat fitted to his with no warranty problems just get them fitted at a dealer, be prepared for it to be loud, very loud!!!!

No. They have made repairs under warranty on cars with a lot more than a cat back.

So a VXR8 with WPUK Power pack and Bimodal could potentially have Wortec headers added?????????? Should sound ok yeah ?????????

[Magic919]

Headers and cats, yes. I'm sure MF can confirm. Sound bit less than pure Wortec sound but a bit more volume and bark than normal WPUK.

headers are a lot of money for a bit of noise

[Bonnie and Clyde]

The noise is very important to us
