exhaust manifold info
 

Hey guys I have not been on the site for a long time because of my computer has been broken. If some of you dont remember my name Sam, and I live in Carson City. I drive a 05 STI and last time I talked I was asking some dumb ass questions about a bad suspension set up. Sence then I have done a few new modifications. I went ahead and got the Tein type Flex w/EDFC and a set of toyo proxy fours for my "handling" category. For power I got a turbo back exhaust, HKS intake, Perrin FMIC, reflashed ECU(sending it out tommarow), exidy single disk clutch w/flywheel.(i know that does not add power but I thought I would add it."
Now here is where I need the help with the exhaust manifold. I dont know what header I should purchase? I have a Perrin downpipe so i dont know if that would change any brand I can get. I know going to buy one tommarow so please let me know tonight if that is possible. Thanks SECCS

Hey Sam, I'm no help there...
But
Paging "doubleurx" or "qksubi"...

Also i am going to get weds wheels soon. I like the 7 and 9 spoke weds wheels sports or something like that. I know I like them soooooooo much though, if someone could find them and paste them for me I would appreciate it because i dont know how to :(

For Weds, check out our pal Vic at Wheel Options..

He has everything, and killer prices too..

That's pretty sweet site, it's really fast.

I know you guys of the SECCS have told me a million times that the HKS stuff for subies are not all that great....buuuutttt is it any different for the headers?? and would it fit right with the parts i have?

Does anyone have GT spec headers? or does anyone know if they are nice...sorry to ask so many questions i know just trying to get some good info before tommarow

I believe doublerx (Nick) has the GT Spec headers and they really helped with mid-peak torque.

it says it helps from 25-35 flywheel HP. i think i might get those. Unless anyone else gives me some good idea's...

I would say just go with the GT Spec header :)

That is what I have. Just be prepared for the change in your exhaust note. It added around 5 whp and 25'# of wtq. I really liked the mod, but if you are a fan of the deeper exhaust tone, stick to the factory headers.

Hey Sam - so you getting this car ready for Auto-X? sounds like your putting together a real beast :devil:

I dont know about a beast, but it should be quick. Yes I plan on doing some Auto-x my car should be put together by next week.

can't wait to see it :)

cool

mike, I cant wait to see your car agian. i love the dark wheels on the subaru blue. In my opinion it is the best looking suby around. can you post some pic's for me please?

well, Don't expect to see the dark wheels unless he's on the track.

I think he's looking for some new wheels also.

i really really really really really really really want some weds. I just want my car to be a little different then any other STI

Don't worry I didn't buy the Weds ;)

i would savotage your wheels so i had the only nice set of weds..lol haha

It depends on the Money :?: I would not touch any thing from HKS :P I have one ordered from GroupS but it still has not shipped :mad: its a cusco copy jet coated for $549 if I had the money I would have gotten the real thing :twisted:

Well i would need to purchase an uppipe also?? right? and the cusco would not interfeer in any way with the perrin downpipe? right?

I was told the HKS stuff for subies are not good except the header? is that true or not true?

HKS makes great parts for other cars, but for some reason it always seems that the impreza is over looked. Everything fits "okay", but never great.

Money better spent elsewhere.

[HKS Rant] hard to think that they would get one part right, and me, want too buy that only part; when there are so many equal too or better out there that have additional great parts for my car and/or have race cars using and testing the parts I want instead of just some graph.......[/HKS Rant]:~:
