I'd recommend the Martilius 4/2/1....

I agree, thank you Sweden for your Euro option as a LHD header :)

But still, it's a good deal. These usually go for 1k on local ads. They're harder to find every year.

That one looks to me more like an obx headers. i was looking at that listing a couple weeks ago and i dont feel convinced that is an autentic TRD headers. but i might be wrong. does anybody knows?

I think its real. Collector looks correct (i.e. way better than obx). Good deal if so.

Edit: O2 flange is clocked 90* compared to mine, but i have an early version without the heatshield brackets.

there were 2 TRD headers.... the original was a 4/2/1 type that was discontinued in the early 90s.

the 4/1 version came out later, late 90s, to 2000s.

Pic from Jeff Lange's AE86 build web page, and he is meticulous about the real thing...

He says it is a ceramic coated TRD USA 4>1 header and it looks the same as the Ebay one.

Two versions of the 4-1 though; early ones didnt have heatshield mounts, and it appears the O2 flange is clocked different also.
