I doubt it. It is already hard enough to get the 400 going. You might want to talk to Xerd. They make a set for the IS300 which they told me works for the GS300 too.

Does this header from austrailia work with usdm sc400s?
I'm sorry if this was mentioned before in this thread.

These cylinders do fit on USDM cars but need to be modified. There's no EGR port on those headers. With modifications, I know they will fit because they are on my car.

Modifications shouldn't be difficult... would these fit an LS400 95?

I hear they don't fit LS400's. And the modifications were not simple. It took a professional mechanic/welder half a day to properly fit the existing EGR connection to the headers.

Trust me, it's not something Meineke can do.

Guys, I know it has been a LONG time... I have said before and will say it again if someone else can get this done elsewhere you certainly have my blessing. From the beginning I just wanted to create a part that will help me and help others. No hard feelings here... just keeping it up front.

I did speak with the guy last week and he does have some work on the jigs started. Shop will be closed until after the 1st and he says he will start again then. I asked him to send progress pictures... jigs... flanges... anything... he said he would try to do exactly that.

So, unless someone else can get a set going I guess we are at this guys scheduling mercy.

Merry Christmas all Christians and Happy holidays to everybody.

Updatey? If he can mass produce these suckers, he'll be a rich man. Lotsa V8ers are looking forward to this. Good luck and thank you for taking the time to fab these.
