Extractors/headers for LHD C3

(1/2) > >>

metalhead:
Hello,

Can anyone recommend a supplier for headers/extractors for a LHD c3, small block with Borgeson steering box? Called the couple of local performance exhaust places and they recommended importing them - they are happy to make custom ones, but $$$... Any suggestions? Are there any local suppliers?

Cheers and thanks,

Andrew.

Hi Andrew. I bought a set of Hookers from Eagle auto Parts at Padstow For $500. They fitted without any problems with standard steering box but not sure about yours. I had them fitted and a new twin system made and fitted at Menai Exhaust, he did a great job, looks and sounds nice and at a reasonable price.

Hope that helps. Allen

Thanks Allen, it's a big help actually, I'll have to give them a call in the morning. Was that price for ceramic coated or painted? Strangely enough I've read lots of problems reported with fitment for the Hookers, yet other people think they're great... Hard to tell! Is your car an auto or manual?

Been back and forth trying to decide whether to go for side pipes or not also, but it seems like under the car is cheaper and probably better for performance (obviously dependent on individual setups)?

Hi again Andrew. My vett is an auto and I to had read about fitment problems but thought that Hooker had been around long enough to get them right, as long as all other parts in the engine bay are standard. They don't  come with exhaust pipe flanges but exhaust installers have them to weld on in a suitable position, they did come with manifold gaskets and bolts. I just went with painted items because Eagle had them in stock. Ps. Getting spark plugs in and out can be a bit more fiddly but I think that would occur with any headers. Any way good luck.

I haven't used hooker so I can not comment .
I have headman and a borgeson Box, with BB   nothing hits .
I've seen lots of header that hit the frame never mind a larger steering box
Check out headman headers .
