Ive seen a lot of people beat the hell out of the ebay headers, but has anyone used the euro ones?

You mean cut off the flanges and weld new ones on? I suppose that would work.

**EDIT** I stand corrected. I thought for sure that the flanges were different. Sorry for the confusion.

[evangreen]

oh, they have different exhaust ports
thanks

I'm using the euro headers on my car. I have the full euro s50b32 motor though. The headers should fit on a US motor too I think.
You need to bang in the firewall a little bit and clearance the subframe for them to fit.

These are the best headers for the U.S motors period. Dyno proven, especially with cammed motors.

[evangreen]

So they will fit the exhaust ports on a us motor?

2002maniac- did i assume correctly that you were trying to say that the exhaust ports are different, or is there another reason you would have to weld on new flanges?

Anyone try these on a us spec motor?

[Skafrog]

yes, they work.
you will need eyeball arms to get CAB clearance.

I've got a few friends that are using these, but they all have Euro motors.. sorry cant help with the US motor thing.

Yes, they will fit the exhaust ports. There is no need to weld on flanges.

Here's a picture of mine when I first got my motor.

Anyone make replacement ones for them, or should you only buy original ones?
