Title: vitara V6 2.5L headers
Post by: mtnbowhunter on January 07, 2021, 09:54:37 AM: does anyone build/sell/import headers for vitara 2.5L V6??

there is a company. WILDCAT HEADERS supposedly a division of GENIE in Australia that make headers for the 2.5L V6 vitara, they are not high end but look quite good.

wondered if any of the suzuki suppliers in USA or Canada are importing them??

Post by: mtnbowhunter on February 28, 2021, 10:22:27 AM: I am surprised no one is importing these to usa or Canada to sell
or
that no one using this forum has fitted these on their rig

My guess is you'll find there's insufficient demand to make it worth your while - I have this recollection that at least one forum member fabricated a set of headers and then decided there was no market for them, based on time & effort.

A quick search turned up these threads.
