prodrive tony Posted June 23, 2008 Posted June 23, 2008 Whilst I've got the bumper off, is it worth doing headers and up pipe. Have we got concrete power gains or is it just a looks thing?? Ive heard of power loses on one dyno experiment. Help and comments please.

Porting my headers at the moment will post pics when done, Done VickyK's last week she said its a lot quicker but she still needs a remap.

granby Posted June 25, 2008 Posted June 25, 2008 Not £180 ebay items then?? Yes if you like changing them every few months because they crack
ROAR Posted June 25, 2008 Posted June 25, 2008 I know mine isn't a turbo, but my unequal headers came from ebay and they have been on my car nearly two years without any probs some others on the scooby sport forums have fitted "quality" headers and have had problems with them......
granby Posted June 25, 2008 Posted June 25, 2008 (edited) Yeah sport headers will probably be OK, but the cheap turbo headers usually crack on the welds or the flexible part in the up-pipe breaks up CLICKY Edited June 25, 2008 by Granby
prodrive tony Posted June 25, 2008 Author Posted June 25, 2008 Hmm thanks Ian. Must be 3 bolt flanged and wrapped then it seems, ill do some more research.

Roar, were they in the £200 bracket yours and do you know if they have flexi joints on the up-pipe??
ROAR Posted June 25, 2008 Posted June 25, 2008 Hello Tony, the sport doesnt have an up pipe they are the one i told your little bro to look at item no 300231949167 on ebay
imprezyou Posted June 27, 2008 Posted June 27, 2008 Tony just one quick word of advice mate , you will lose that subaru burble , it wont sound the same !!!! but on that note you will gain more power bottom end .

Should be ok ive gone for un equal length set of headers. It has 3 bolt attachment (thanks Ian) and no flex on the up pipe so im hoping all will be well.
prodrive tony Posted June 30, 2008 Author Posted June 30, 2008 Stuck with 2 seized bolts at back of down pipe, the 2 that are close together!! Ive sprayed and heated. May have to buy a Dremel and cut them??
