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 |

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

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. |

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.
