I'm after some headers for the gs. My ones are completely shot and have a hole the size of a 50p at the joint, sounds nasty.
I've got a new can to weld on so don't need the can, just the pipes. Though i'll take pipes with a can if you've got it.
PROBLEM: I'm in the United Kingdom. I'm willing to pay the postage to the UK as there is just a huge lack of parts here, any pipes for sale here are rusted severely or worse than mine.
I have spare headers but would cost an arm and leg to mail from here in Aus :cookoo:
I'm not expecting the shipping price to be pretty. I just can't find anything in the UK and my ones are done for.
If you don't find any closer let me know
I have seen some on eBay uk recently under mufflers ?
Appreciate any links? My ebay skills aren't great.
The few i did find where in a sore state
Check the ones out on this page. Most are from usa but cheaper than from here in aus

If all you need is the header part for a slip-on, then buy any year. The engine end is the same.
After they join together, it is larger for the 2004+ due to extra noise control and cat. converter in there. You can always adapt if your slip on is the smaller diameter.
Buy the whole thing. Cheaper from what Coast shows on ebay.co.uk. Shipping alone of part of the muffler (just the header pipes) would cost more than buying the whole thing locally and throwing away the muffler end.
THank you both!
Some good links there.
And adididas i didn't realise it would be that much.
I'm just worried about the quality of said parts. This don't look too bad though

If it was me.....I would probably steer clear of those ones......they look a little umm shitty
Spend a little more and get some better ones.
They do show up on ebay frequently.
