Whoever suggested motor mounts banged it right on the nose in my opinion.
These guys are probably running NOS right off the line......or like the guy in the Northeast who was (gulp) dropping his E55 in drive at the 3500rpm rev limit from neutral.
We've had all kinds of motor mount damage posts, but funny how this is the FIRST EVO header complaint. If they were the "worst quality on Earth"...wouldn't we have heard it already or at least once before this.
It's wild, you guys in the UAE have such a world wide reputation for treating your car with such TLC too.

Perhaps the car was not abused. In that case I would somehow consider if I were you another, more likely, explanation for the failure, like a motor mount failure.
You started this thread with "poor quality headers" as an accusation...and haven't moved much from there -- except in your last post.
One of the things that age and wisdom bring is a more careful, considerative approach to defining and explaining a problem. Blind, raging accusations seldom easily bring about a satisfying resolution.
I suggest that you go forward with your new-found rationality and pursue this matter a little further, and a little more carefully.... Then get back to us and let us know what you have learned.....
I for one, do not want to unreasonably jump on you.....

It’s not an engine mount.
It’s not NOS
It’s not that the CAR had a hit from under or accident
How can you abuse a header?
About learn we learn a lot every day
For all of you who support EVO Sport GOOD FOR you but let them tell you how did it happen I bet you they don’t know.

Wow! I missed alot here!
I really like the UAE. Has its problems because of the usual problems resulting from growth and change. I will say this: the Middle East is inventing democracy anew, 21st century democracy -- and it is great stuff.
The UAE is fairly international - most of the population is from somewhere else - and I like the mix of Middle East and Interntional. You would not beliewve the variety in restaurants (unless you are from a multi-million person metropolitan area)
Don't 'dis-' the Middle East or the UAE -- if you do you are making a mistake out of ignorance or misunderstanding....
Modz - if you wre referring to the actual UK? ...No. I do like fish 'n' chips (with vinegar as the condiment for the chips instead of ketchup). So many people of other ethnicities have moved there that you can find good food in a restaurant that is serving something other than the usual fare -- but it is true- the food in the UK sucks.....

a few...
can drive 55.... haha i cant say much more about that comment.
but I think Jakpro just owned you CLS917 and have you ever heard the term Sh*tstirrer, because its written all over you.
dont sit there and accuse EvoSport of making a poorq quality header when it is OBVIOUSLY something that unfortunately occured with your car due to aftermarket modifications and a series of unfortunate events.
