As Arf says. Look out for a decent set of GT Spec or similar in the for sale section

How about porting your OEM headers for a bit more flow.........usually an exchange jobby for about £100

Harvey did mine, ported and very well wrapped in DEI wrap, unfortunately he's a bit poorly at the moment and I don't know if Darren is doing it for him.

David at API does an exchange and I guess enginetuner and places like Finch motorsport may do as well.

I agree Harveys the way forward, get the OEM ones ported and Harveys give you the option for a solid up pipe, easy to fit as there OEM!!

Standard headers do well to be honest, and porting them helps.
You can also loose low end torque, which is never good.
