Thumbs up headers

I have many testimonials from customers saying that the headers are unditectible until you hit the peddle, but I am strictly talking about the ceramic coated set not the standard mild steel set...

Default direct bolt on?

what about the 4 o2 sensers, is there a location for them, or do we have to use 02 simulators seeing that those headers bypass the cats.

do the sc400/soarers in australia have Cats?

No probs with metering

The shipping I've found is right around $325 for a cubic meter,that's a minimum also for any type of good deal from say,Sydney.
You could fit quite a few sets of headers in a container that size,the next hurdle would be getting someone to distribute the things from a sole US destination;a third party for a minimum handling fee,then split the cost of everything somehow.

If anyone's interested, I'll be happy to be the "middleman". I'd like to get a set of headers, so if we can get a coulple of people together I can have them shipped to Florida, then distribute from there- any takers?

I know we have a decent sized group of people in Florida, so many people could simple pick them up to save on additional shipping.

If this is something you might be interested in doing, let me know.

Count me in. I will swoop down to SoCal quicker than a TT SC3 for one of these sets. If we can get a crate filled with these we can reduce shipping dramatically. Bubble wrap will do wonders to pack them in tight together =)

Guys I need the headers quick. Lets do this.

Default Headers

Ceramic coating is a heat treatment which covers the entire header in a thin film of coating which is ceramic based, it reduces engine bay temps by 20* celsius, also will protect thew headers from rust, quieter operation (luxury department) and most of all looks GREAT!
