The only "local" headers are made by Liverpool exhausts.

Im pretty sure there is no one who actually carries them. You would be better to import them yourself. It certainly would be a lot cheaper. Try japanparts.com.

If you do a search you will find all the info.

As always

Default Headers

Im looking into getting headers from the US, but the left hand drive set up is different so dont order US spec headers cause they wont fit.

Fujitsubo headers come in right hand drive spec cause they are from Japan originally. i-m-racing.com has the RHD ones on their site but the order button doesnt work with them for some reason. Ive sent them an email asking if they do sell them and am waiting to hear back.

I was wondering if someone might be able to confirm or deny something about these headers. I went to the Japan site

http://www.fujitsubo.co.jp/search/pr...namID=00000748

and if you look at the kws down the bottom, the one on the left (the standard one?) it has 186kw???? Whats going on there and the after one has 188kw? Surly these high quality headers have bigger gains than that. I think the left one must have already had headers on it, or the japan spec one is more tuned or its a typo and should be 176kw because if I go to another product page for the 350z

http://www.fujitsubo.co.jp/search/se...?cnam=00000748
(pick another one)

The one on the left has 173 or 174 or 184??

If the US headers are making ~14hp then surely the Japan ones would make more than 2kw, this must be wrong.

There is very little gains to be made by just fitting headers.
The most gains are in the replacement of the main rear muffler & removing the cats, but as it is illegal to remove the cats then high flow ones would need to be fitted. Preferably the spiral type rather than the honeycomb type.

You may want to do some checking as I'm fairly certain that I've heard some bad things about i-m-racing.com service etc.

If you look at the gains from www.crawfordz.com with his plenum and his headers and standard mufflers(I think US muffler is less restrictive than AU) he gains combined ~40hp at redline, this is not peak gain which would be between ~25hp? at peak.
