Engine/Power - non turbo (All non turbo Imprezas) Who needs a turbo when you have 2500cc? Cams, intakes, exhausts, etc. The 2.2L and 1.8L Subies are cool too.

Someone bring me up to speed on borlas

Because he CURRENTLY has a Naturally Aspirated car with questions about headers. I was mearly informing him that if he planned to ever do a turbo addition that his decision of header brands would affect the fitment and operation.

Or, you could just sell whatever N/A setup to someone else instead of trying to retrofit it...

Its still an N/A thread

sure he could.
However, that's extra hassle and a loss of $$ for sure.
Unless the buyer is a total sucker.

When modding to help a supercharged RS, you need to mod it like it is N/A. Which means: n/a flowing headers and all of that stuff. I just said turbo because I am trying to keep it on the downlow to surprise some locals who don't know what is going to hit them.
Ya, superchargers dont require funky exhaust pipes. Get something like the brullens, TWE's or MRT's and flow like a madman!

Money loss? Naw, exhaust systems retain their value extremely well, especially the headers. Something like the syms or TWE would be super-hard to sell due to the price, but MRT's or Brullens go like hotcakes.

Well the market in Hawaii is a little slow for that stuff. my buddy tried to sell his brullens for months. Of course, you guys aren't in hawaii... I am.

Hey man, If you're going supercharger, you want "equal length" for the best power gains and flow. That means brullen and mrt. I am not familiar with the twe.

cheeRS,

But the price is right.
