Question headers for the wrx/sti

fellas:::


anyone here running non-oem headers??

so many questions........

id like to find some realworld experience on them (several good comparo tests around...)

here's one thing i could find, showing boost spool between diff. headers (installed on the same car, same dyno, same day, etc..)



is this something worth trying to install yourself, or maybe it's a job best left for mastro??

any ideas/opinions are welcomed...

thnx

esemes

I think headers are too expensive for not enough gain. Maybe for someone making extreme amounts of power would see enough of a gain to spend that much money.

"The unequal header length gives the Subaru what some people call the “boxer” sound. This deep rumble is unique in the world of four cylinder imports and is often a point of pride in the Subaru community." I must say that is a good sound.
