    not without modification,u.s headers are for left hand drive and when you try to put them on right hand drive they will interfere with the steering

    Gap is for dipstick!

    The gap in the flange on one header is for the oil dipstick! .......which will be consistent on ALL headers!

    But as Simon has already said........the collector on the US header that will be fitted on the Oz drivers side is obstructed by the universal joint in our steering mechanism!......they can be modified & some members have succesfully done this!

    If you're interested in headers PM me & I can organise a great price through TTZ! ;) .......they have headers IN STOCK NOW!!!!.......that can be shipped IMMEDIATELY!!........unless you want HPC which will take another week or 2 depending on how busy they are with V8 Supercar stuff etc etc :rolleyes:

    http://www.ttzed.com/products/produ...D=21&page=1&title=Exhaust & Headers&do=detail

    Some people will criticise the TTZ design as being 'technically' inferior!! :eek: but at the end of the day I gained 11RWKW on my car from fitting these!!!.......so regardless of 'theoretical design' the 'reality' is they must be doing something right!!!.......& they bolt straight up to RHD cars! :zlove:

    ps - Simon (TTZ) & I have discussed another GB on his remaining stock of these headers!........a 'Clearance Sale' special!!.........so keep an eye out for crazy prices if you're looking for NA headers!!! :eek:

    Agreed Russ,Simon showed me a set of those re designed headers during the week,looks like nice work and good performance charts and much better peak performance than the old ones :zlove:
    The person/people who do knock these,put up for comparison a set of $2000usd headers lol,so for the price of these headers done with the appropriate matching mods,good gains should be seen

    Unfortunately old graph is still on TTZ!

    Yeah Simon mentioned he had shown you the dyno results from the headers fitted to my car! :zlove: & that you had seen a new set for yourself! ;)
    Unfortunately the TTZ site is still displaying the old test results!.......the main pictures have been updated but Simon is working on getting the new dyno graph posted before we run the 'Clearance Sale'! ;)

    The new design has improved workmanship & quality control & the gains are much more consistent across the whole rev range with max power around 6500-6800RPM from memory??

    I love em! :zlove:

    Sure did!

    HPC assists the flow of air through the header by helping to maintain consistent surface temps across the metal.

    When hot exhaust gases change direction at the pipe bends it causes friction which in turn creates 'hot spots' at these corners!........ which further disrupts the air flow!.......the HPC helps to reduce this effect!

    Plus HPC helps to reduce the amount of heat from the exhaust radiated into the engine bay........so I figured it was worth the extra $$!......but I'm sure the standard finish available on the TTZ headers would still give a great result!

    I would only get them hpc coated,theres no way i would put them in that small area without being coated .
    Anyone fitting these should at least heatwrap them at a minimum imho
