Headers are slightly different dude to be able to clearance the steering rack. I know that much. As far as the undercarriage (middle/end) part. I would have presumed it would be the same, so long as the tailpipe exits on the correct (which ever that is) side?
More than happy for someone to correct me though..

That's what I was thinking as im pretty sure the floor plans are the same on both LHD and RHD models. Also with the tail pipe mounted on the rear left hand side to.

Might have to look on either USA or German ebay then for a header i didn't realise the steering rack was so close!
Cheers

Some time ago Luke ( volksee77) and myself were in contact with Techtonics tuning about their 4 into 1 race header, In Speaking with Collin Gynes we worked out that there is a 98% chance a header for a LHD car will indeed fit a RHD model. The rack is not the problem, its the steering column uni joint on the RHD car that is likely to cause interference. I will ask the guy's in the UK when I am there in a few weeks time.

Cheers for that Grant, And soz about the whole door thing didnt mean to mess you around in anyway. Just really didnt think my old one was fixable.

Is it correct in thinking from the manifold back is the same?

Right then so not sure if anyone's interested but I am and I'm bored so here goes!
Thought I would have another look at all the history I have with the golf that goes back to the original buyers receipt
.
As I want rid of the caterlistic converter that was put on by the previouse owner and I have read on another thread if it didn't come standard and was privately shipped its fine not to have one.
Anyway back to what I was getting towards. I have just about everything from when the car was bought thru to shipping from america when the vehicle was owned by a man called Andrew T Dimond from Virginia who worked for the American Embassy. Managed to find his address and details and thinking about sending him a letter saying his car is still about and so on. Not sure wether he would care but I know I would find it interesting. After all Andrews receipts it gets to the letter of import approval in 02-03 but then i have nothing till 2011 were it picks back up to the date I bought her.
What I'm iterested in is if any body new the owner who imported the car to W.A then man was called Vernon Hadley and lived in Kallaroo. Just want to fill in the gaps in the history????
