nope wont fit - steering column on wrong side for those to fit, if looking abroad best to look at australia when it comes to headers.

will physically fit on the car but not sure how they'd mate up with the stock VXR exhaust. iirc its a 2" system if standard and those are for mating to a 2.5" system, cv8 stock was a 2" exhaust. If you're got a 3rd party exhaust fitted such as the Wortec then you might be okay. As for the headers themselves they're a bit on the small side for the primaries if you intend further mods they could still be a restriction on performance.

I have been down this road & have looked at all options. From Australia, Uk and phoned various places. There is also the size of collectors u want and size of pipes.

Here is a link to the thread i ran on exhaust and see if any of it helps u?

The thread Fao After_shock.

My car is going in the same place in April for headers and cats. They are really good guys

[TerryS]

Mine have been great so far, tight fit but I believe most are, looked very well made when installing. The car made OK power with them on.

Edit, mine were not from that Ebay source, and have 1 3/4" Primaries not 1 5/8".

can you tell me where you got yours from

[ringram]

IIRC Terry said his set looked like a DF clone!?

[Magic919]

He did, R. And from a distance, if you squint, they look the same...

[stigmundfreud]

I'm half sure the C(r)APA ones I had fitted were left hand drive. You couldnt squeeze a gnats dick between the steering and the header but after a lot of manipulation it was ok.

Meaning? They look very similar in the pictures I have seen. Assuming you have spent time studying my headers, what did you find obviously different?
