Headers

[Winky151]

Am I missing something with these headers? Why shouldn't I be bidding on them?

Arent these the ones that where for sale in the classifieds for around £600 ?

Watching at present mate waiting for that hidden reason why these are wrong or am I just reading too much into the current low price?

So predictable.

Remap & OTR intake will come next year but these are currently looking too good to pass up hence my initial apprehension on them (waiting for that bite in the ar$e ).

Maybe. But you have started on the slippery slope now. That only ends up in one place. Ask Rich.

The part no. shown shows these are LHD headers.

So this could be why they where never fitted in the first place.

Surely the seller knows they are LHD.

I reckon he found out a little bit late (for him).

hmmm - the LH should fit no problem. maybe a bit of subtle cutting and welding to the RH one could still make these a bargain...

Probably easier to put them on the opposite side and upside down, and cut a couple of holes in your bonnet.


I think Arnie has some LHD headers that he was going to re-fabricate. Maybe he can let us know how he got on?

Evening guys,

They are my headers. As far as I'm aware they are for a RHD car as that's obviously what I ordered.
But the point above is interesting, as that part number is not the one that's listed on my receipt either, so I'm hoping that it's just the wrong sticker rather than wrong headers!!!
Part numbers on the receipt is HS-VE03-02R & HS-VE03-L.

I've never had them near the car to offer them up either so can't say 100% on that.

Unfortunately, your receipt part numbers come up as a Pontiac G8 part - which would also suggest LHD, from a quick Google search.

Hmm, that's not good and rather annoying if that is the case.

If anyone wants some LHD headers, there seems to be some available on eBay.
