Do they bolt straight on to our stock catalytic converters?

Yes, but you should make sure that you confirm your exact model with the seller as there can be some variation.

There are so many good options locally, why go through the hassle of getting it in from the States?

Thanks J. They are very cheap Apu, and shipping is ok. Just after a 4-1 header and most are 4-2-1.

Hi.
Just remember most US extractors are to a degree compromised owing to the steering shaft on the left hand side ( the hot side )on Na & Nb and the problems with long primaries and collectors in a restricted space, You would be better off getting onto one of the buying groups and buy from yahoo japan secondhand or source locally.

Thoughts are that a RHD header into a LHD car like you said would be a problem and a LHD header into a RHD with the steering shaft now on the left hand side would be ok with the extra room.
Some of these US headers go for $120 US, I suppose they have a bigger market.

http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/CXRacing-Header-1989-1999-Miata-MX-5-NA-1-8L-Equal-Length-2-pcs-Vband-/271543748288?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item3f3944c6c0Those aren't equal length. At all. You can tell by looking at cyl 1 and cyl 4. Cyl 1 should be reasonably straight to the collector, and 4 would be curled up to make up the length. You should have spent you're money fixing the current headers.

"Product Info and Spec:
Header:
1.65" Equal Length Runners"they have a rather broad definition of "equal length".
Primary that should be the shortest is the longest and vice-versa.
Also, how exactly does the secondaries attach to the tertiary?

I'll go a review when I get it.
Don't brush it off because it is cheap and on E Bay. CX Racing has a huge range of products.
The more common 4-2-1 can go for $120.
