Don't know how they fit LHD. Most headers need some tweaking to install. That's why I always thought the Datsun Shopper headers were an OK deal, sure there not great fit but the price is right considering that expensive header requires customizing too.

DD, the price difference is huge but probably worth it for stainless. It's ~$500 shipped for the Wildcat/hurricane headers, ~$700 + shipping for the stainless.

Do you happen to know if all of these options fit the LHD vehicles well? Are there issues with the steering box or suspension components?

I am currently leaning towards the Hurricane 1.5/2 headers since I have an A15 and I don't know the cost of shipping from south yokohama. Really not looking to spend $1k on headers for a street vehicle.

Get the South Yokohama stainless header great quality.

For an A14/A15, get the big tube headers.

Hello, I'm looking to purchase a header from AUS due to the only option I can find in the US being Bill's Datsun Shoppe and very poor quality. Chris at Best Mufflers has been very helpful and offers shipping to the US but he only carries Wildcat (WILD127, 1 3/8 primaries, 2 outlet) and three different Hurricane headers (1 1/2 primaries, 2 outlet).

This is a mild build with R1 carbs and a stock cam (eventual hot street cam) so the wildcat size would be the better option due to needing lower end power for street driving, but which is better quality? Both require cutting of the outlet to weld on either a flange or v-band and they only come with high-heat paint. The hurricane is $15 more, so price isn't a huge factor. Thanks for your time and happy Datsuning.
