Header options advice needed

[Robert986]

Well boys, the season is soon over so it´s about time for some wrenching..

I ordered those cats: They are cheaper than Circuit Werks, and no customs for me in Sweden, I hope they will be fine: https://www.ebay.com/itm/351973215955

So, next up are the headers: I found those now on eBay:

Will I get away with the cheapest ones? They are SS 304, should I go for something better?
I´d like to pull the plug tomorrow so if you have any ideas, please tell.. :dance:

The description on the last one you posted stated it is made of T321 but then you scroll down to the pics and they say the flange and mandrel bent pipes are T304 ..........which is it ? I have cheap Ebay headers on mine made of T304 , been on the car four years and so far so good . Having said that if these headers shown below are REALLY T321 I would purchase them . But at that price I doubt they are T321 either that or they are made in a Chinese sweat shop

Robert,

How did the cats you ordered work out? Did they fit in your system? The circuit werks one are very pricey and don't seem to be available at present.

How did the headers work for you?

Jaykay, Thanks for asking, I guess I should have reported back sooner..



The cats:

Nothing wrong with the fit, the sound was glorious! However.. I didn´t pass MOT, too high CO (I think I made a separate thread on that, I should update, sorry). I had to put the old 400 cel back to pass the MOT. I discussed it with my tuner, he took a look inside and told me that they where not genuine 200 cel, rather 100 cel. So now I need to buy new cats again.. This time I´m afraid I´ll go for the real deal, the HJS. It´s expensive but I need a solution that works.
