VS Statesman 50th Anniversary
So I have a 1998 Statesman Series III 50th Anniversary model with the L67 Supercharged V6 and I cannot find any Extractors/Headers that would work with my car.
I had a custom catback fabricated earlier this year with the intention on replacing the factory extractors and Catalytic converters later.
I would really like to use a set of Pacemakers but I rang them up yesterday asking if they had anything that would fit and they said they didn't and I would need to get some custom made instead from a fabricator around me.
Are there really no pacemaker options for me or even any other brands of extractors?
And If I do have to go down the route of custom ones, what should I do in terms of specs for a nice engine note?

Hmmm. That's right, those dam full circle bellhousing.

hang tight, I'm sure a mate with a 98 S3 VS ute had headers on his. I'll see if I can find out what he used.

Asked a mate, he's fairly sure he has VS pacemaker headers in his S3 V6 ute.

Unsure TBH, but I bet getting a set and making a slight alteration is probably better than a full custom set.

Nothing we can't clearance a little with a grinder :)

Although not in production anymore, have a set of HM Headers on the VS S3 with the Getrag.

If i remember right, it might also be something to do with the Y Piece.
Supposedly Passenger Pacemaker side will fit, but the drivers side will hit the Bellhousing, Seen some info of people clearancing that.

Or there could be an option with Hurricane Headers for the S3 variants.

I was wondering if I could modify this set to fit potentially.
