Default NOVEL Headers & Exhaust - US Dealer

I'm in the market for some headers for my ISF. I've done a ton of research on the forum. I've found the PPE and the Sikky headers, but the sound of the NOVELs have me sold, even with the cost. If anyone here has a dealer contact and where I can get them state side, let me know. Thanks

If I recall they cannot be used on a us car as they are made for rhd cars only.

If you search the thread, I believe they may be doing a LHD version if they get enough interest, but nothing set in stone.

From the research that I've done, Novel has three sets that are already installed state side. I follow the owner on Facebook as well as their Facebook page. So I know that they exist for LHD ISFs, just haven't been able to find an actual dealer that is located in the states that has an agreement with Novel.

I have talked ith the owner a bunch o times and yes there is a us spec of the novel headers made as for a dealer im not to sure they are in the market for the us but u can contact them directly and order straight from them it will cost a siht load but well worth it if u have the deep pockets for it...my friend lives 3 hrs from there and told me its roughly 7 grand without shipping

novel makes the car sound like an exotic, other exhausts make the car sound like a muscle car. Nothing wrong with either but the Novel sounds incredible.

M3 E92 equal length headers go for $7,300 so really its up to the owner what he or she wants to buy. I had the opportunity to ride in Taku sans ISF and the Novel exhaust sound is amazing.

Maybe the microphone doesn't do it justice, but I don't think it sounds any better than Borla + PPE headers. I'm sorry but that's just what my ears are telling me.

Those gains and sound are not worth $7K, IMO.
