They look like the XForce headers. Short primaries are useless. The RRP is rude too. Too bad they couldn't be bothered to change their blurb: "Equal Length Four Into One Header" :nuts:

Their waffle about "Interference Design" is a waste of space - the V6 has opposing bank firing order anyway so each pulse arriving either collector is the same degree from the previous pulse AND the next pulse - assuming the primary pipes ARE equal length. And with primaries this short you'd be braindead not to be able to achieve equal length primaries.

I luv their 10yr warranty - as if you'll still own the Magna in 10yrs!

Best value for money is still the Hurricane Headers atm.

XForce are different, they don't have the U. This set do.

Get yourself some Pacemakers for $400, long primaries, good design. Who cares if its stainless, unless you want to impress your friends for 30 seconds by lifting your bonnet and showing ur almost invisible extractors. Or if you want to mount your extractors above the mantel piece in 20yrs.

"This header is designed for the front wheel drive model"

hrm I wonder if they designed a set for the RWD model as well :nuts:

They have said this as they will not fit an AWD model......

Umm, let me rephase that: "best commercially available design", not necessarily best bang-for-your-buck.

The X-force have the same shorty approach to the primaries, yes different (read: CHEAP) secondary merge pipe attempt and weirdly enuf the front back has an oxy sensor hole :nuts:


I would like to make more sets of headers but I just don't have time - I'm already working 8days a week!
