Hi Guys...

Am kinda new here ... and i was wondering ... whats the different between a Verda, Magna and Diamante.

I Live in Doha-Qatar, and i have a 2002 Magna-Ei V6 - 230HP - 3.5L. and i wanna buy Headers for my car from Australia but the thing is. when i see Magnas in the site.. some of them are different from mine, some times the Diamnates in this site looks 100% like mine, some other times the Verdas, and some times Magnas :confused: so i got confused.

so can anyone help me please ? which Headers shall i put ? what's my car called in Australia ( Verda, Magna or Diamante ? :confused: ) . ... my car is Stuck for now ... just added a sound system and 17" Rims and Xenon BMW Lights.

Here's some pics of my car.

hehe love the lights.. needs to be lowered tho :P

wheels look very similar to mine too :P

but yeh, im pretty sure ur car is a TJ magna... veradas have the cornering lights and foglights on the front.. altho that pic in the middle is a verada..

thanks bro :)

the lights came with the car .. i didnt do anything to it, and about the cornering lights .. i already have them ... and about the foslights ... it's an option when you first buy the car ... but i told them not to put it cause i am going to put a body kit soon.

and about the pic in the middle ... thats how my car looks like from the rear ... 100% the same

and yeah i will lower the car soon. is there any shop in Assu that can ship lowering springs for me ? and how much will much will it be $ ? and one other thing, here is Qatar they so Stupid, they dont have anything for the Magna's and everythign is aganist the law " for cars " for example .. if i put Headers on my car ... they will take it from me for 3 Months :nuts:

if thats what it looks like from the rear, and u have cornering lights (which i cant see in the pics..) then it must be a verada..

do the Magna and Verda have the same Engine ?

The exported Diamantes do have a very strange "trim level". Exported Diamantes to USA are based on our Verada, however Diamante VRX is sort of a cross-bred in our terms between a Verada and Magna.

It looks like yours is another "cross-bred". In the case that the rear of your car is a Verada look-alike, but the front of your car is a TJ front end. I suspect the intereor would also be a Verada trim level.

Mechanically there is no difference between our Magna and Verada. The signicant difference is the Verada is the luxury pack for the Magna. So if you are looking for mechanical mods such as headers, then the one header will fit both Magna's and Verada's (based on the fact that the Magna has a 3.5L, may also be true for 3.0's).

Currently there are two companies in the land of Oz who makes headers for the Magna/Verada/Diamante, RPW and Pacemaker. Although there has been a number of custom made headers, but obviously they were one off pieces.

Although I'm not sure whether this is all true for a left-hand drive Diamante.
