Default Will JDM RHD headers fit LHD?

Hi, I was wondering if anyone out there fit a RHD headers on LHD IS F? Im thinking about ordering the LEMS titanium headers but they only come for RHD cars. Any insight on this would be much appreciated!

No RHD ISF headers are different from LHD headers. PPE makes RHD headers for the ISF:

Highly doubtful considering steering shaft provisions.

Here is the website http://lems.ocnk.net/product/408

They told me they would sell and ship but it was up to the buyer for fitment.

Yea, I think you are right. The drive shaft/steering column gets in the way, from doing some research. It will have to be modified somehow for fitment, if that's possible.

I made the ti exhaust choice for my sw20 mr2 after seeing 'em at the Tokyo Auto Salon in '02. Lightweight craftsmanship on display.

$7k to save ~ 20 lb. hard to rationalize for headers you have to get underneath the vehicle to view.

No, afraid not.

I only know that because I had to order and wait for a set of RHD headers from PPE given my car is a UK/RHD model.

If I could make LHD headers work, would have saved me some cash as they come up quite frequently your side of the pond from what I can tell.......

Could you make them fit? I'm sure you could at a further cost, but not sure it would be worth it? Anything is possible, just depends on how much you want to spend!
