The unit is certified here to handle V8 motors, easily handles the tailpipe emissions tests used here in the states. But no idea how the tests are done in Australia. Sorry, also no idea if it fits RHD yet.Oz wrote:Hey Brian,
Can you give me some information on the efficiency of the cat, as a cat, in this header when compared to the OEM unit.
A number of guys here in Oz are attempting to get Cosworth fitted NCs through our emissions testing so they can be legally driven on Australian roads.
This has involved pulling the Roadster Sports headers and installing the OEM one with the obvious detriment to flow and installing OEM midpipes.
It would be a huge bonus if we could get the flow of this street header yet still have an efficient primary cat.
Oh and it would need to fit RHD...which might be a problem.

No plans to do the CARB cert process at this time.matthew-m wrote:Any chance of this header passing California smog inspection? How about CARB approval?

When you get a production one installed, could get a few pics of the area around where our RHD steering shaft will pass through?
Might help decide if there's enough room.

Re: roadster street header
Had GWR catted header/midpipe installed yesterday at AR Auto Services, Lake Oswego, Or #503 697-3311 for $257.00. Several positive comments on header build quality. Only driven across town but very noticeable improvement pulling long grade in fourth gear and winds out much faster in lower gears. About 15% louder with original FM muffler with better tone and less drone. Thanks Brian. Couldn't be happier.
Re: roadster street header
Thanks for the report, glad you like it. I am driving it almost daily in our 2012 Project car and loving the torque and the sound.

Re: roadster street header
@oldjag...or Brian Did you have to use the O2 cable extensions or were they able to use existing?
Re: roadster street header
We have done the install a few times with no cables. But several folks have reported using the short cable for the first sensor.
