Don't bother, I bought a set for mine what was running 300+ bhp with a VF30 at the time they blew a large crack in them. I got them proffesionaly welded up and they seemed fine but thats no the point......... poor build. I didnt buy them from this eBayer, but still they look 100% the same.

They are prone to blow in the 4 to 1 area.

If I was to do this again I would speak to either Harvey Smith on here or your mapping guys for advice.


Why do you need to change yours?

What do you want to achieve, Fiestaboy can port a set of headers for you on an exchange basis which will see you through to 350bhp, depends on what your plans are. Worth PMing him

Don't buy from eBay headers(are cheap,but how long last),if you want headers you just PM to Harvey or as above say Fiestaboy.

As above keep away from ebay crap best value for money headers would be the gt spec type with a 3 bolt upipe and slip joints, Lateral performance, harvey and many other reputable tuners stock these

Johnny, what is your goal mate? What power etc do you want?

The standard headers and upipe are better than most people give them credit for. 350 bhp, anything above mate go GT Spec. If your going for Anti-Lag again GT Spec will help etc.

eBay ones are wrong. So so wrong. I've seen a set from eBay against a GT Spec headers up pipe and lets just say. ****e!! Angles all wrong and the welds are pants.

I'd only port the headers if going up to 350bhp. Standard ones are good I would do the up pipe tho that would help spool.

He's not after much more than he has got already he after getting the chip in his ecu if poss. But because these where so cheap he was gonna go for them thats why he asked before buying them. We have ported his headders already but that was at home with a couple of grinding stones and a hand drill

One of the boys on Surrey are selling a set of 3 week old headers? £300.

I know Jura11 was after a set and of course Johnny boy.
