[200q20v] source for header for NA I5?

[Fundsalo Racing]

The last (some?) of the Coupe GTs here in the US got
the 130/136/137HP (depending who you ask) engine with
higher compression, piston squirters, better oil-pan
baffling, etc. Not a direct comparison with the older
Coupe GTs and the 4KQs of US-spec.
