I'm trying to juggle a few projects right now, including an 08+ sti turboback system and also a new turbo EL header design, but I think the axleback is first in line and then more NA products. All of these items take time to figure out exaclty what you want, what we can build, and the best product for a particular application. I'm trying to nail down a concrete date to begin the prototyping process for the axleback and I should know exaclty what's giong on the in the next day or two.

Make sure the headers fit the legacy/forester also.
You've just doubled your demographic . Granted there aren't as many of those owners looking for performance mods but there definitely are some and if a slight variation can make it work on more vehicles why not. |

Just make sure the headers are fitted for 06+ impreza's and dont require any added equipment to install.

As of tomorrow I will have a start date for the 00-05 axleback project and I'm going to delay the N/A header for a little while...... We're currently working on a completely new idea and design for a turbo header that will incorporate brand new turbo/manifold ideas. I can't say much right now, but I think once this design is complete it will give more insight into what an N/A header will look like.

aw man...the header is where it's at. axleback is just for sound. i think most people are looking for performance gains.
i know i've been shopping around for a used cobb for quite a while now. grimmspeed has been talking for a year or so now about designing NA headers. don't put the headers to far onto the back burner....i'm game for either. |

I know....I wasn't planning on doing a new turbo product until after some N/A items, but timing is my issue right now with the turbo stuff so it has to be first. I wont forget about the header for the N/A cars, and it will be next on the prototype/production list after the turbo header. I think we'll be starting the axleback project next monday, so at least there will be another option available beside the Stromung a few weeks from now! |

One month + into my full UEL setup and I still can't get adjusted to the sewing machine sound affects. When next to other cars in traffic, so darn loud, luckily my axleback is just as loud LOL!

I'm moving the axleback info to a new thread:
http://forums.nasioc.com/forums/show...3#post29431633 Check it out and let me know what you think and I'd like some feedback on some exhaust tip options, so after I post some pics of the tips that I'd like to use feel free to let me know what you'd like to see for two of the "standard" tips. Thanks! |

if the price for your UEL headers were set to 650-700. i'd go with borla headers with no hesitation.

in addition you'd need to provide dyno's of the individual components (so a full system vs stock headers & catback system) comparison for us as many already have catback systems. |

^ OBX is the best.. for it's price. The TWE EL is 1000 bucks but gives you a lot of gains (albeit you need a proper tune).

2) I've had a set of Borla reps, the OBX, and now the TWE. Frankly, the TWE is the only one worth buying. The Borla and the OBX were overpriced crap. Even though their initial prices were low, their performance and longevity were so bad that they were a ****ty value. The cost of the Borla rep plus the OBX is just a little less than the cost of the TWE. In other words, if I hadn't wasted my damned money on the crap headers, I could have had 2 sets of TWE's by now. Not to mention the TWEs are going to last longer and I gained 20hp over the OBX with them. If Moore Performance wants to make a header, the big gap in the market is something priced at $450-$500 that won't crack, rust apart, or not fit. I would think it ought to be an EL design because no one is going to pay $500 for sound (or so I would think, I'm old and could be wrong ). I have had a Moore Performance catback in my hands. It was well made and well thought out. That gives me confidence that he could create a made-in-the-USA quality alternative, upper-mid priced header |

Quality and craftsmanship aside, I think the collector design plays a bigger part in the efficiency of the header. If an OBX design had a perfect merge collector on both th 4-2 and 2-1 transitions it might have made some impressive gains.
Don't be fooled, though. The quality of the bends/welds/alignment and design all go into the physical properties and efficiency of the header. The result is a sum of all the parts |
