Header actually made for an 2.5i
Hello
I have posted a similar thread on other subbie sites to gather interest on a group buy for a made to fit 2.5i engine UEL header this would be made for a Legacy 2.5i however the Legacy 2.5i and Impreza from 07+ have the same manifold to mid pipe section so this should fit both car in this MY range. The vendor informed that it could be easily made and I informed him if he got a large enough demand would he consider making a batch (50 im guessing) so this thread is to garner interest if you would like be considered for a 2.5i MY 07+ header add your name to this list and I will fwd it to the vendor. 1. GEE-OTTO 2008 Legacy 2.5i 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10.

What size will the primaries (secondaries?) and collector be? Will it be resonant wave tuned for the EJ253? If not, is it going to be UEL? Lots of info one would want/need to know before saying if they were interested or not. and 2.5i's are 06+... but you should verify that the collector location and flange orientation is common between all years 2.5i's to avoid confusion.

You know, we have been waiting for this for a long time. Integrated CAT earlier upstream is the key to a clean design w/no CEL.

^Agreed.
The only reason I haven't changed to an RS style EL header was because of the cat, and not wanting to clear CELs all the time . Does this fab'er/vendor have the facilities available to do proper annealing after welding, or will it crack after a year? If it is a tuned EL proper header, I would definitely buy one. Not too interested in an UEL for reasons we will not discuss for fear of contamination the thread. |

I would be interested in a UEL that would allow one not to have to change the OEM catpipe.
I already have a stromung CBE but have stayed away from UEL's cause I don't feel like spending a ton of money on an after market stromung, randomtech or rallisportracing catpipe, etc. So in essence, these would be like SHORTY UEL's. |

What "Vendor" is making these?
Why put the cat in the cross pipe section!? the space there is limited as it is, your best bet would to have the main cat relocated to the 2nd "non-functional" cat section. So that people have a choice of running or not running a cat. that's just my 2 cents. |

Well we have the first 15 people lined to so now it is time to mock/test out ideas the best one and the closest one will mirror LGT/WRX style headers and will be a direct bolt to stock mid pipe this will give the buyer the choice of CBE. Leaving the cat near stock location means you want need extensions to make your existing o2 senosor work thos goal was to make it truely bolt on and i think we will have that.
Thanks for the ideas this thread can be closed now and once finsihed ill post up pics etc |

i'd like to know more about this... and for the headers situation, honestly... these are gonna have to be expensive since they're gonna have to have a cat and bungs for o2 sensors. especially if theyre using a hfc in their setups. |

There is no code to cancel the CEL forever... RomRaider allows the user to disable almost any of the CEL's from illuminating the dash light, however the CEL still occurs in the ECU, so if its something critical to engine function, it will make the necessary changes, like going into limp mode. Fortunately for the common header/HFC CEL (P0420), nothing is affected. So diabling the P0420 DTC will make it like it bever happened as far as the driver is concerened.

We know that EL is more efficient this header is for all the user that want the rumble and a change from the stock WE know that EL is better however the demand is for UEL on every site with N/A this is just an attempt to supply those people that want bolt on and not a RS header for the newer stock exhaust layout no need to flame me I know all that you are gonna say just save it not trying to say one is better than the other just IF YOU WOULD LIKE ONE EXPRESS YOUR INTREST if not shut the EFF up |
