Description:

I removed these DNA headers to replace it with an xforce 421 ( imo best header dollar for dollar header )... the only reason I chose to replace it was I belive this header was leaking from its flexpipe ( which now that it's removed I'm not so sure )..I thought this because 1st it got a little loud and I found it blew out the gasket because I used the cheap multi layer pos gasket AND I installed it backwards. So I out in a new gasket and a month later the noise returned so I assumed this time was the flex pipe BUT upon removing the headers almost every bolt was loose because I forget to retorque them after a few heat cycles..I installed these DNA headers brand new only about 4 months ago and maybe 4000miles..
lol o well. I needed a wideband and quieter exhaust so I will stick with my xforce..
with all things considered......
35$+ shipping only ( encase it does need a flexpipe). PayPal is preferred​​.
pm or respond to this post. 
Stay safe N motor on !

Upon further inspection the header will need the flexpipe repaired. This is why you need to have good exhaust bushings. Or this will happen to your header !
if you look closely, on the leftside of the flex joint you can see a little chunk missing and it does leak water out of that spot too so it would leak exhaust.
I can do 50$ shipped, if you can weld you can have your self a pretty new header for cheap.

the design should be a dead giveaway and i did say they came off of my car but they are for 2002-2008 r50 , r52 and r53..
they fit both supercharged and naturally aspirated..
also , I DID PORT the 4x inlets on the flange to open it up abit larger for abit better flow. so they'll also better mate upto a ported head too then.
