i am looking for a good(and affordable) unequal length header . i want to keep that beautiful boxer thump, but not break the bank $700-800. any help is very much appreciated !!

Why the stock one is good up until like 500+ hp??

Hey Damian, have you ever looked into P&P and gasket match your stock headers? Maybe getting them ceramic coated?

I'll PM you with a site that sells them. Also search on Nasioc for header testing results. Stock P&P'd are known to actually perform better than aftermarket brands.

Nada. DP

415whp.

15 hp, better sound ,better spool(at least thats what i read) ive heard good things!

415whp.

Oh my bad. :crazy:

:noidea:

15 hp, better sound ,better spool(at least thats what i read) ive heard good things!

Just hit up those P&P'd stock headers. That's what I was looking into doing (before my tranny busted).

The 415whp thing was a joke. Sorry J!

Well i knew it was up there. But i didnt know exactly :D

pm me the site i wanna check it out please

i just want a deeper more aggressive tone and i heard a header was the way to go........... well that and 15 whp!

There's a bunch of sites that do this, I'll PM ya so you can window shop. It's a small site, but you'll get the concept.

Not sure headers will give you a deeper tone. What do you have done to your car now? You may need to upgrade from your 13T to have noticable results.

yeah yeah i wanna know too!

13t?

13t lol?

i dont know all the lingo yet 13 T

13T is the turbo you have in your ride. Upgrade that with some p&p'ing of the exhaust leading to the turbo and the turbo itself.

I don't think P&P will change the sound at all, but will help the turbo spool faster and a little extra power

Crucial Racing (www.crucialracing.com) offers a trade service for this. You pay $325 and they send you ported and polished as well as ceramic heat coated stock headers. You then send them your stock headers and they refund you $100 so it ends up costing you $225. They can also put in an EGT bung too for an extra $15 and they supply a plug to fill the bung so you can keep it closed until you actually get an EGT gauge.

This info is not available on their website, so you'll have to fill out the contact form (which is how I got all this info last week)

i didnt know about 13t but i know td04... im still a newb. :p

so p&p is better and more cost effective than buying an aftermarket header plus they are soooo shiny!

ooh i see td04-13t. u coulda just said td04! haha

IMO. :thumb:

Hit up nasioc and do some reading on P&P. There's a few how tos and good advice on what you're trying to accomplish, gasket matching, bla bla bla.

IMO dont go with the equal headers.. you will lose the "wrx" sound that you love.. my advise that worked for trey is get the upgraded cross pipe..

Damian still wants unequal lenth headers. The crosspipe is part of the exhaust manifold.

Equal length headers provide the greatest increase in torque.
P&P'ed stock provide moderate gains.
Unequal length are hardly worth the effort of installing.

equal=rice sounding exhaust which is FTL IMO.

Edit: Wow major whooops! (third times the charm)

Equal headers = no more boxer rumble.

Fixed it for you!

bower rumble ftw

Some of you guys should actually take woodwards advice. The boy has been at this for less than a year and he already knows more than my 5 years exp.

Reading/Research FTW. Try it, dont be lazy

Damian still wants unequal lenth headers. The crosspipe is part of the exhaust manifold.

I know this, headers replace the stock exhaust manifold. I would suggest doing what trey did and p&p w/ the upgraded cross pipe.. I really dont think damian would be happy with sound equal length give you

Hey Damian, I just threw down on a set of 06 WRX stock P&P'd headers w/ thermal coating inside and out. I don't think I'll have them by our next meet this Saturday though, but I'll let you check 'em out before I install them.
