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 have SS stuff, definitely worth it!
This will most likely be the route I take. OE Euro is just way too expensive now.

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.2004 Silbergrau Metallic 6MT

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.

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.'09 HP2S, '12 R12GSA, '00 Black 323iT, '02 Alpine 325iT (Track Wagon), '02 Alpine 330iT

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.
