So i put the Q on the lift today rack and pinion is shot. while i was doin it i noticed a whole in my headers.. so im thinking about exhaust. im not doining anything to the exhaust untill september because that is the inspection date and tbh it seems to be fine i dont think its any louder but it has to be fixed soooo the question is what aftermarket exisists for this part. i have no problem buying oem or jdm emissions are not at all an issue. I just want to weigh my options on headers or full exhaust. What is out there what will work and of course what does it cost thanx guyz.

Are you sure the hole is not in a heatshield surrounding the exhaust/header? I would think an actual HOLE in the header/exhaust tube would create quite a racket!

Check out Impul if you are serious, although their headers (where you may experience real performance gains) are designed for RHD cars.

The steering column changes sides also.

His point was the RHD headers may be shaped/designed to clear the steering column on the other side of the motor and thus not fit.

There's been lots of discussion about headers, but as far as "we" know, the only Q45 with headers (an older model, not compatible with your Q) were custom made and the only set in existence.
