Hey people.

Im chasing down prices and makes for headers to suit a Lx 4door 253 engine.
I have been quoted $600 for a set of headers from one company here (WA) but that is the only place :(

And info would be great.

Also.... are the 253 headers different to the 308 headers?

Cheers
Matt

I bought a set of pacemaker extractors (headers) off ebay i think is was for around $300 brand new. This is much cheaper than any shop can supply then. And i had them fitted for only $150 after being quoted over $300 from carline. It certainly pays to shop around.
I also believe HG and HT headers are the same used in an LX torana but dont quote me on that.

i would steer clear of finnex, had a bad experiance with the exhaust on my vk 5l,
nothing fitted up the muffler was wrong twice, the engine pipe and muffler both 2" so no slip together. maybe i was just unlucky but i was working for one of their bigger customers at the time. but they was cheep
