I think I've read every 340 header related thread at least 15 times. I think there's about 5 now.
Sooo many options. Some times I wish it was like subaru land and you just get a set on invidia pipes and call it a day.
But I did plan on talking to these guys next week.
I think these guys are are good option as you can marry up your original catback and have the benefit of tri ys and with 200 cell cats, the 400 cell standard cats along with the flawed inlet from the header into the cat lets down the hsv header/cat the most so definitely worth consideration.

I'm actually running these headers on my car now haha, they're a very nice header.
Ok great to know. Hard being interstate and getting feedback.

I'm sure castle hill exhaust or sure flow up here could put together something also. But obviously easier when there's a known solution.

What are you running them into?

Are the HSV headers/cats fairly straight forward to fit, no issues with dipstick etc?

Headers n cats bolt straight up,dip stick tube is best with two blokes,one up to send it through and one under to guid it into bloke,that shal test your patience,back sensors can be undone real easy dut front ones are a bit of a bitch,don’t try to unclip just undo and count the twists,to replace trist up same count and screw in,place stearing wheel in straight ahead to access stearing rod bolt to move stearing shaft aside.

No need to touch the steering shaft with HSV headers.
