I'd stay away from ebay stuff when it comes to these, been known to crack etc. Get a set from lateral performance or somewhere reputable.

Or if you have the budget call neil at http://www.tlogicraceexhausts.com/
he will make you a set with up-pipe and they are fantastic!

The best ones to go for are original GT Spec headers.

I've got some mint ones professionally heat wrapped inc the up-pipe coming off my car (correct fitment for your car): https://www.scoobynet.com/private-fo...available.html

A lot of the ebay headers crack in next to no time and their design and performance is questionable.
Fiting a set of GT2 Spec headers to your vehicle would be a step backwards if you are retaining the OE turbo. Your best option is to stick with the original factory headers or better still have them ported along with a matched uppipe.
