Hey all, the previous owner of my S2000 is pretty adamant that this is an oem header, I'm not so sure- I think it's missing the brackets that hold the factory heat shield. Anyone seen one like this before, in a 2005?

Do you have a picture from the underside? There is an additional mounting point to the chassis which most headers, besides Mugen, don't have. Then it should be clear.

This does not look like the OEM header. The heat shield on the underside and the tabs above the header for mounting the heat shield are completely missing.

I agree - any idea of what it could be ? I don’t imagine many have two o2 bungs towards the bottom? Or is there usually a part number on them somewhere? I also have an urge header, just thinking through if it’s worth a swap
