Tune after Headers only?

They are very lightweight and beautifully welded, so I am looking forward to the result, but not particularly happy about the loss of the primary catalytic converter when removing the factory header.

I almost purchased a set of these a few months back, my car is euro spec should be a bolt in change I would think. Looking forward to your report, I have the brombacher muffler and very pleased.

The eBay manifolds/headers work great for a fraction of the price of an FVD/Cargraphic etc set. Unless you like spending money and are chasing every last single bhp then I'd seriously look at them. I've had 2 sets over 2 cars and nearly 10 years now. You might need to bend a corner of the undertray a little out the way, make sure the PAS line is not going to foul and check the alu diagonal braces don't get too close but they are are hard to beat for value.
