Default Help with finding headers

Starter died this morning and I want to do headers while doing the starter. This is my daily driver and I can't wait for headers to be made. Anyone know of any PPE, Sikky or other headers in stock or for sale ASAP? PPE is a 6 week lead time and Sikky no longer makes them.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Damn that sucks! I didn't realize Sikky didn't make the headers anymore? Anybody know the reason Sikky stopped manufacturing their Version 2 headers as they had pretty good gains🙁

I was thinking does this leave just one vendor in the entire country more or less that makes aftermarket headers for this platform?

Totally worth the sound though, I had Novel + Greddy Ti Exhaust on my is-f, best sounding IS-F in Houston!

Call around and check for a set of used headers as well. Someone’s bound to have some in stock or for private sale.

I'm pretty sure the Houston F group has quite a few stock headers ....

Are MagnaFlow headers an upgrade? In-stock at a few places, including Amazon...

ARH also makes ISF headers (or used to) perhaps custom orders.

Only thing i can suggest is stay away from OBX.

if its anything like their nissan/ honda lines, they will either, not fit right, warped header mounting plate, "chassis modification required", crack, or all of the above.

The FB groups are likely your BEST bet to finding used header.
