Add your name to the list of people wanting a copy of Ian's (Hartge) headers.

Not only will this solve your crack addiction but you'll also gain a few horsies and a harem of newtons in the process :pimp:

that must sound badass!

Just grab a cheap 325 manifold make sure its still straight on the inside and put that on.

Na its not that bad. You can feel the gas slightly when idle. You can hear it but only at certain revs, and is not loud at all, yet.

Like a dump pipe!

Sweet cheers for that.

I was led to believe that after market extractors are easy to get and id be looking at $200 aprox.

"just the same as HQ holden" was what a mechanic told me. I emailed coby and a few others, no one has sh*t.

So that $100 a cylinder is about as cheap as it gets?

I have made enquiries on behalf of a mate who has an E36 328i for a set of custom made jobs. A weeks work, so $3000 approx.

Yes, that is expensive, ex F1 & BMW motorsport mechanic doing the work and he does awesome stuff.

As with everything, you get what you pay for.

Cobys for other "common" cars are cheap as, few hundy.

Haha, what a downgrade!

Looks like its a repair or standard replacement job.

Can you port/polish the factory item? Would i be worth it?

A common thing is to machine the inside the straight bit of the manifold - it tends to bend over time. This isn't a performance mod however.
