exhaust manifold info

[IheartSTI]

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

[MattR]

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

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?

[IheartSTI]

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

[Nick Koan]

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

[IheartSTI]

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

[MikeSTI]

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.

[MikeSTI]

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

[IheartSTI]

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.

[MikeSTI]

can't wait to see it

[Evo Mike]

cool

[IheartSTI]

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?

[MattR]

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

[tysonK]

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

[IheartSTI]

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

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

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?

[Nick Koan]

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]
