There could be a solution closer than you think. Lots of development already done...
I am interested in headers.. big-time.

I'm a bit confused, but aren't these headers made for the 200 (M271) and not the 230 (M271)?
Also, aren't these for the RHD cars and still to be established whether these can be made for LHD cars?

Gents,
Thanks for the reminder. Absolutely, a confusion between LHD and RHD header is obvious for sure. This must be clearly illustrated in the auction. Have inform the seller to make the necessary amendments.
Thanks for the heads up !

What I was saying was ship it with a flange and we can weld the flange and use the stock exhaust with cat, Count me in I want one!!!!!!!!!!

That is exactly I pointed out. The M271 header comes with a flange and to have it installed in the LHD vehicles, all that is required is to have a flange welded to the stock exhaust cats.
But I believe some dislike the stock cats and prefer a high flow cats, this will be a complete solution with the downpipes....
so there will be 2 kinds of audiences here:
1. Change of the stock headers ONLY
2. Change of the stock headers as well as the cats
How many will there be for option 1 and 2 ?

Option 2.
It would be messy to cut the one piece manifold to retain a more restrictive stock cat. Remove the 1-piece stock manifold+cat and replace with 2-piece after market header+high flow cat.

Unless someone can tell me if it is convenient to locate a exhaust workshop around your area or a couple of blocks away...

This whole mgheaders thing sounds awful fishy to me. A company nobody has heard before, claiming to make a set of headers cheap as all hell, dynos with lots of inconsistencies...I'll pass. Looks like I'm getting the CarLAB headers. Great company, great design, great price, proven gains, done deal.

So it's been awhile since MGheader last talked about the header for M271 engine. Whats the latest update?
I still want this upgrade first before I get the powerchip ECU.
