What is this header, who made it, shoud I use it??

Benfolio · 07-15-2008, 09:56 PM

Came of a 2002 Impreza 2.5RS, and supposedly sounded REALLY good (don't know what he had for a catback), and it SHOULD fit my Legacy.

Is this a custom one-off? I've never seen a Subaru header like this, and the cat (high-flow) is welded on.

Can/did get it for a good price, but if I can't/shouldn't put it on, I need to know.

Keep in mind I need a midpipe, and might have a Borla lined up. Just need to find an axle-back.

What do ya's think?

Looks like a homemade job, but couldnt hurt to try it...its only a header.

Looks like the old MRT equal-length headers. Ask Pat Olsen, he had a set of those I think.

They don't fit any other catback other than MRT or exhaust shop custom bend IIRC...

I kinda eyeballed it (as good as I could with the header lying next to the car and looking underneath at my stock setup) and it LOOKS like it will bolt to the near-stock location. I found the MRT website and it says it won't fit the STOCK center pipe, but maybe it'll fit the Borla?

Borla works around t he stock locations too, I think.

It maybe off by a couple of inches, not drastic, but enough to give you a bad day.

An exhaust shop pipe would be cheaper anyway...just get a universal borla muffler and you're set.
