If I recall he was selling the UEL for the 2.5i somewhere around $600. Here is what they looked like:

Rallisport Sport racing UEL headers for the 2.5i

I agree with that statement, but my point was that they are not EL headers therefore they are UEL. I personally would not change the headers just to make it rumble more. Just be happy you get a small rumble.

600 for some some, nah.

Hmm...seems a bit steep for just some noise, I'll go the exhaust route first. Second of all once I start modifying my headers and exhaust, my dealer isn't going to like it when I bring it in for warranty work, as this has already been stated and reiterated by my service manager.

that is my biggest fear. i have a aem filter sitting on my coffee table that stares at me every morning. but i am too scared to install it until my next oil change at 15K in a week. 6 month anniversary at 15K woot woot!!

You can always take it out when you bring it back for maintenance or warranty work but it's kind of annoying though.

Correct. They are a little bit of both...

Would that be a production model?

That is the (naked) factory unit. I bought the car, then drove it to my shop and took it apart, to see what I was dealing with. From a design standpoint, there is SO much more room to work with than on the 2.5i (in regards to potential header primary/secondary routing).

This is gonna be fun

My point in the matter is that either it's equal or not! I understand that the pipe length may not be as different than the turbo models of the EJ, but the headers on the '12 Impreza are not EL. Now to purposely put headers on that have a bigger delta in length just to get the sound at the sake of performance is counter intuitive. It's like WRX and STI drivers putting blow off valves in their car for the noise, but hurting performance. But hey, to each his own.

[uspopo]

Ok, I can't stop salivating now. Please make sure you put PZEV models into consideration during the R & D process Sir.

Tell me about it. On the one hand, we have folks complaining that our NA Imprezas can't hardly get out of their own way. On the other hand, we have folks willing to make the car perform even worse just to make some noise.

That's not a trade-off I'd be willing to make.

Oh, and on the third hand, we have folks who think the Impreza is too noisy already, and add sound dampening or change tires to make the car quieter.

So I guess it really is "To each his own."

My headers will not sacrifice performance. And as for it being counter intuitive, I agree, but there are MANY who think otherwise. I received over a hundred emails from guys begging (and I mean quite literally begging) me to develop a bolt on solution to give their 2.5i that famous boxer rumble. I delivered and sold over fifty units in the first six months. A year later and I'm still so busy filling orders that there is a two month waiting list to get one.

I specifically bought a PZEV for that very reason!

[uspopo]

Great news, at least we know that someone is actively working on engine performance parts for us now..

Again, my headers will NOT hurt performance. My UEL headers will give the car that famous boxer rumble and a small performance increase. My performance version will be just that, all about performance.

I'm looking forward to this.

Do you have a before and after dyno of the same car? What diameter tubing will you be using? Do you plan on deleting the cat that comes off the manifold?

Do I have a before and after dyno of a product that doesn't exist on a car that I bought less than a day ago? No, I don't. Your obvious point being then I can't say they will make more power. Yes, I can. I will not be deleting the integrated cat. Tubing diameter and length, and type and size if collecter, and 4-2-1 or 4-1 is all yet to be determined.

could you add a option to delete the cat? i know companies such a berk for the s2000 has a option to delete or hfc using t-clamps.

Not trying to give you a hard time. I just don't know how one can say it does not hurt performance (or gain for that matter) when dyno runs have not been performed yet for a product that doesn't exist.
