Competition Tubular Exhaust Manifolds.

These equal length tubular headers are a huge improvement over the OE units which also include the catalytic converters. By replacing them with the RDSport units, you will achieve a gain of almost 25 HP.

Available in separate P/Ns for either LHD or RHD models.

These units are 100% stainless steel and are made in Italy.

Eh, I think it will be VERY difficult, since I bet there is a little shop with 5 employees that makes those parts for RD.
But I bet somewhere around my city, because RD was here in past years.

Yep, they're pretty pricy. Not sure if things have changed but I have one of their older price list:

Competition Header Set for V8 - $4200
Metral Matrix Sport Cats - $3900
Rear Silencer for 525-545 - $1480
Rear Silencer for 550 - $1550
Rear Silencer Quad Pipe Conversion - $3100

If you want the RS54 stroker motor for the 545 or 550, it's $31,570.

These are retail prices.

I figured they will be pricey. Even if that is the old price list.
