I can shed some light on what transpired.
It seems clear that the headers arrived without the donut gasket required between the header & the catalyst.
This critical piece was somehow lost in transit.
Together with myself being difficult to contact at the time,
And the customer having his car on the hoist & basically in pieces, a decision was made to alter the end of the header & make it work.
Had I been contactable, perhaps things would have worked out differently.
In any case, the donut gasket is critical in making the length together with the female flange attached to the leading edge of the test pipe / cat.
Without this gasket, there would obviously be a short fall in length.
So everyone is aware, this gasket is the same as used on the local S2000 & JDM DC2 Type R, EK9 Type R & CL7 Euro R.
It is available through the local Honda dealer network, but you need to ask for the right part. Mentioning a Euro won’t help.
The Honda part number is 18229-PCX-003
Hope that helps,
Cheers
Adrian
