Default Anyone have HKS 350z headers?

I just bought some BNIB HKS headers for my G35 at home and was wondering if anyone else is running them. Haven't been able to find anyone. I'm interested in sound clips and power gains.

These very headers are on its way to my place.

I've seen them but they are rare. Here in the states they have to be ordered through a importer. They were never sold by HKS USA.

I knew they were rare (they were f***ing expensive) but I never knew they weren't sold in the states.

If they weren't sold in the States... then couldn't you possibly run into issues with the header fitment since your car is Left-Side-Drive as opposed to the Right-Side-Drive of our overseas friends? What with the steering column and all?

Something to think about.

I really hope you don't have any issues, because those are probably fantastic.

EDIT:

Wait.

Wait.

I'm retarded. You're in Japan. Enjoy the headers!

The merge of one of those pipes appears to be at a nasty angle relative to the others. I can't imagine that flows well.

Doesn't look like a very impressive header design. Agree that the merge collectors are very small and the primaries are not equal length. Looks like they just welded one end of the primaries into the side of another. I would highly doubt that these header will perform well compared to the other aftermarket headers out there. Take a look at the Nismo or Tomei V2 headers as a reference.

doesn't look that great as far as design, hope it fits LHD cars or you have a really expensive paperweight.

My car is in fact LHD since I am from America and my G35 is there.

Didn't consider the RHD thing so I may need to cancel the order. It is from UP garage and they deliver COD so it wont be rendered a paperweight luckily.

There can only be so many different header designs for the Z / G.
