I spotted these on eBay, marketed by a Chinese firm.
No affiliation, but thought them interesting, even though they don't appear suitable for my RHD car.
Remarkable value for money. Too good to be true?

Re: New M88/3 Exhaust Headers from China
I had a look at their other items (over 60 listed) and their feedback (only 9 negative with nearly 300 positive). Difficult to see exactly how well-made they are, but certainly very cheap! I'm tempted...................................

Re: New M88/3 Exhaust Headers from China
There are noticeable differences, the Chinese ones have very short collectors that will obstruct the flow at the merges. Also notice the pipe that turns through 180 degrees on the front, where the two 90 degree bends are welded together the Chinese ones have been shortened and won’t flow as nicely as the German ones. They probably all get made in China anyway but the German ones look nicer to me.
