Found this company in Oregon that manufactures headers. They are the only ones I know of manufacturing headers for the A series engines.
Excellent.

hmm, i'm not sure these guys "manufacture" them

i think they just bought a bunch of them from a factory close out deal (pacesetter?)

also, note it's not a general "a-series header" but an a12 header to fit a 1200

The manufacturing part....I do not really care, as long as the headers are available.Perhaps there is a posibility it could be a closeout by Pacesetter, by it is not advertised as a closeout but as a running production. I doubt Pacesetter has anything to do with the goods. While I had my B210, I called them several times, inquiring about headers for my A15, and I was told they had none. They were not going to make anymore , and they said their templates were gone. I kept calling every few months with the hopes that perhaps there was some left, or production would be re started, but it was a fruitless.
Regardless, this is good news, yes, I already told a couple friends in FLA that have B210's and 1200 Dattos, every dog has his 15 minutes of fame......I am a popular person and will be among these guys for the next.......couple days....
About the aplication.....
Yes, that site has these headers posted as good and fitting to the following vehicles: B110, 1200, 210 and B210...

hmm, the header part #'s should be different

nismo still had some comp headers for 1200 and b210, but again, they were different part #'s

those were much better quality than these anyway

for that matter, the kind sold in oz is much better in quality

btw, you want these for your peruvian ute?

My peruvian Ute has stainless steel headers made custom order. Peru and south american countries work the opposite manner to what industrialized nations are used to. Labor is cheap, parts are expensive. Here in the states, parts are accesible, but labor .......
Stainless steel headers in the US.....LOL

These american made headers are fine, and about the quality, before installation, if it is a concern, anyone can take these headers to get specially coated.

About other headers being better, that is a choice for the consumer, it is refreshing to find out these parts are made locally. Letls celebrate someone is thinking about our beloved Dattos.....with the A motor.

Matt...do not bring the tree down before it becomes a tree....in order to make a educated asessment, we need to actually see and inspect the product. Worse case, it can not be too bad, better than the restrictive "EGR Passage" "Heat Riser" crappy stock manifold

How much are they?
It looks sort of similar in shape to mine. Mine is cracked all over. I've welded it up but it's only a matter of time before it falls apart again.

The headers are posted for $225.00 US.
If prefered , those could be ceramic coated and that fact will make them stronger.
Yours indeed look very similar...the only difference is the order the primaries run...first over second and thrid, as opposed to first under second..... but the idea is the same , primary wise...

I bought this header about 3 years ago. Never got around to mounting it on my sedan. I wanted to use a lynx manifold with it that I just got. I have a spare early a12 cylinder head lying around so I went ahead and started to test fit the header. First thing I noticed is the flange is warped, and didn't fit very well. Second the welds aren't very good, so I am having some of the welds grinded down and rewelded. It definately needs to be coated. (ceramic?) also the holes need to be elongated. if anyone wants pics let me know.
