I guess if you are RHD and have NO other options, this is a good deal..

On another note they seem to be equal length headers and constructed very nicely for a JDM piece...
(visiual opinion)


Looks like the LHD - ISF's are getting great deals from the header companies already out there..

Was looking again at the pics of these the other day and noticed something interesting and was wondering if anyone else noticed the same thing. It appears at though these headers have "mini" cats incorporated into them. Check out the pics below. Let me know what you guys think. What type of restriction do you think they have.

For that price you could probably have a shop custom make a set like that for you and come out ahead.

I think their exhaust sounds different because each firing of a cylinder and the exhaust that comes out is evenly spaced. V8 rumble of the cross plane engine might have been made to sound like evenly spaced 8 cylinder firing to achieve that higher pitch sound. So if my hypothesis is true, these pipes are not equal length but rather tuned to make the exhaust pulse evenly. Just a guess.
