any springs for an 04 wrx will fit ( go for teins), cai - injen and search on here for lightspeed, they do a good job. as for headers i think the borla's fit. I've been wondering bout this topic, im looking for some equal length ones if anyone knows what will fit?

Make this guy your friend:

- I just spent about 45 minutes reading up on headers, for example. Also peruse the Vendor classifieds for these items.

These topics have all been covered extensively, but for quick recommendations:
- Headers
The consensus comes down to Borla (low cost, good sound & torque) and TWE (higher cost, more power response in mid to high end)

- CAI
Cheaper the better. I have a homemade pipe into the fender (free from another NASIOCer) and an Amsoil panel filter I bought used. Something like a PDM racing pipe and a K&N will be just fine, though I don't know if the PDM pipes fit an '05.

- Springs
Many options, everyone has a different opinion. I'd go for Prodrive or the new SPT/STi "pink" springs on stock struts to start with.

definitely go with an injen CAI...i jut got mine from UPS and it took about a week in a half...Injen is back ordered a little bit... I got my CAI from performancetuning for $230...well worth the wait

Im a newbie...what are the header?? Please explain and what do they do?

DragonRM · 07-06-2005, 06:53 PM

www.rallitek.com and www.cobbtuning.com have a fair amount of n/a parts... Rallitek's better overall customer service wise and they have a bigger spring selection.

As far as I know the Header is the metal tubing coming off of each cylinder that takes the exepended air from the engine to the exhaust system...kinda looks like a hand with no thumb

DragonRM · 07-07-2005, 05:51 PM

Yup... it's the beginning of the exhaust piping system. Header, cat section, midpipe, axel back/muffler.

I just got my new springs on my 04 RS and the Eibach pro-kit for the WRX did not fit in the rear, I actually had to go with the STI springs, they lower the same, but the rear springs seem to be different than the WRX. I don't know if this will apply for the 05, but I recomed you do some research before buing any suspension components.

Off chance they might have sent you the wagon springs...
