    I wish I would have kept my Euro headers/cats, I think the whole setup was ~$1300 shipped to me.
    The sound they made with stock Sec. 2 and SCZA was pretty good, much better than my current setup.

    But hey, now I get maybe 5whp more (maybe) and get to say I SS stuff, definitely worth it!
    Back in the day I bought a clean set of euro headers and sec 1 for $800. Crazy times.

      How does the Supersprint setup fit? Did it install without issues?

      This will most likely be the route I take. OE Euro is just way too expensive now.

        Mine fit well, just dont use N54 or other extended studs like I did, they are not necessary and make installation more difficult.

        Generally the SS headers fit fine but since they are aftermarket there can be sets that have issues, a few years back many were getting SSV1'S that had flanges that were not flush with each other.

        Factory stuff fits better better and always will but with the stupid price of euro headers aftermarket is really the only option for catless headers.

        I hate to say this but if you find a set of Meagan's or equivalent chicom stuff that fits and making another 5hp isn't a top concern, go that direction.

            hypothetically, if one were to have a new set of euro headers and section 1 with cats, what would be a fair price in the current climate?

              Along those lines, what's the going rate for a used set of Euro Headers and Cats?

                Thanks for the info! I agree, with the price of euro headers, aftermarket is a no brainer.

                I thought about running Megan Racing headers, but I used to use a few of their parts back in the day on my 240sx drift car, and they were horrible. They most likely have improved nowadays, so it is probably worth me checking out.

                      Yes and no, I've got a set I've been saving for a future project, but I had someone the other day ask if I would sell and I'm trying to decide if its worth it for me.


                      Edit, we used to get them all the time, but after covid when cat values went crazy it seems a lot of the Europeans would rather scrap than deal with selling them to the US and thats really killed the supply it seems.

                        Nice. Yeah, I don't want to get your hopes up because I'm not sure if I want to let them go or not but also don't want to be that guy that rapes people just because things are harder to get now. Kinda curious what's a fair price for the combo. I think cats have like 30k miles on them so pretty low mileage and the headers are brand new.

                          Scrap value at some point was over 1000 EUR, so it makes no sense selling them for less.

                              I agree. If they are selling for more than SS, people will just buy SS. Let me know what you are thinking on pricing.

                                I read the RHD dented version doesn't make less power. Has anyone successfully got the dent out?
