Im running them on my 80.. they are just block hugger headers.. not really extractors so to speak (i think we are talkin bout the same thing).. Im sure u can shop around and get them cheaper

thanks very much, i dont think the hsv extractors would come close, there is very little room on the drivers side.

i got there headders to run in my GQ but when u mount the motor DEAD centre of the engin bay ( made my own mounts ) and the motor is to the mm in centre the drivers side his the chasis rail so you have to modify that side only
i think with the marks adaptors mounts they mount the motor off centre?

yeah they do mount them off centre "slightly" im guessing the slightly might be a fare bit

yeh well i was gessing its about 40mm to the passanger side just by were the headders were hitting, but then u stress your xmember mounts for your gearbox unless u make a new member too and i didnt like the idear of the motor being out of square to the car,
