UPDATE: SOLD!, mod for the PPC please lock
I finally went turbo so I no longer have need for a header. It is the Strup stainless steel 4-1 header for the 1gen xB and xA. This header will not throw a code and uses all OEM hardware for mounting, no mods needed. Strup claims 6-8 HP gains.
Asking $150 shipped, Paypal preferred. This header is on eBay for $300 new, and $390 direct from Strup.
It's been on for about 35k miles, so the shine is definately gone. It could be brought back with a very fine grit wet sanding followed by heavy polishing, but for a part no one sees, I didn't find it worth the trouble. Here is the link for the HOWTO if you want to take the time to make it all shiny again. Takes about 4-5 hours.

There is no leakage from the manifold to header gasket as illustrated in the one pic, there is no carbon trail from the inner to out ring indicating a complete seal. I would suggest you buy a new gasket though, they are good for a single crush fit only.
There is one small scratch on the one pipe that probably happened when I pulled it. it is not deep and could be sanded polished out.
The threaded flange that mates to the exhaust is in perfect shape with no wear on the threads, it will bolt straight in.
The last picture shows the welded on STRUP badge, it is a genuine part. I may also have the install paperwork but will need to look for it. I have a spare doughnut gasket, brand new, that I will send with it for where it mates to the exhaust.
