Default Suggestions for RHD Headers/Exhaust Manifolds? Toyota Chaser

Hey,

So I have a 93 Toyota Chaser JZX90, it's a car only sold new in Japan and many people have never heard of it. Factory comes with a inline 6cyl twin turbo, but mine was a non turbo that I'm in the middle of swapping in a LS1 from a 04 GTO into for a drift car. My old drift car was the same Car but 1 year older and with a 420hp single turbo inline 6, but that got crashed.

I've finally got mounts built for the motor and now I'm at the point where I need to do exhaust, so custom headers or modify some manifolds. Below are some pictures of the exhaust, and I'm worried about what I can do with mine as it's a RHD (right hand drive), and I'm limited for room on the one size. The options I'm looking at are either trying to track down some CTS-V factory manifolds, and modify them to work, or buy a custom header kit like in the link below:
http://www.speedwaymotors.com/Chevy-...Kits,6600.html

I'm looking for suggestions as to what I should go with on the exhaust there.

Thanks guys











Just so ya can see what the car is, this is my old Chaser just below

I'd suggest a F-body manifold... it may not fit right off but they're easy to modify, cut and weld, and very cheap. Looks like it would work.

I've been looking around the net and looks like the APS Twin Turbo kit's headers/turbo manifolds would work good for the swap

http://www.airpowersystems.com/ls1/turbo/turbo.htm

Anyone know if you can buy just the manifolds? and an est price?




Or possibly these??? but they are like 550 Euros, 4+weeks to make, plus shipping from europe

Block hugger header, looks like the old Chev SBC ram horn manifolds. We get them in Australia so they should be avaliable where you are.

C5 vette standard manifolds, looks like the steering rack mite be and issue.



RHD GTO Pontiac manifolds, the steering rack is in a similar location to the Chaser.

What about the ZR1 vette manifolds? They are good for over 600 hp...but I guess they'd be almost identical to the 2nd gen CTS-V manifolds.
