Headers Or No Headers?


Recommended Posts

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. :thumbup:

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.

Yes ported and wrapped headers and up pipe do make a difference, more torque rather than bhp :thumbup:

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......

Roar, were they in the £200 bracket yours and do you know if they have flexi joints on the up-pipe??

Tony just one quick word of advice mate , you will lose that subaru burble :o , it wont sound the same !!!! but on that note you will gain more power bottom end :o .

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.:thumbup:
