Has anybody fitted a set of megan ss headers to a 01 wrx.

If so did you have a complete nightmare in fitting them ?

or is it just my car.

 

What problems did you have?

 

AFAIK Gussy from Cumbrian scoobs has Megan Headers on his MY01 WRX

 

Ive just fitted some to a STI 2003 engine. Took me 5 mins and no problems? Fair play the engine was on an engine stand outside the car

 

pmsl @ Jon!!!

Lower rad bracket needs bending, you will need to jack up engine (ie remove engine stay) and mount bolts and raise it to clear up pipe.

Once fitted they were hitting the front section of the sub-frame. plus also hitting the corner of the sump.(right corner section looking at the front of the car.)

 

they touch the sump.

It did.... not now.if you know what i mean.

 

cut the rad bracket back 15mm no more probs the pipe will come close to the sump

 

Cheers. they are on now. and have changed the car once again. awesome rasp to the engine note now.

 

Got myself a set of the very same.

Anyone know if fitting to a classic is easier??

Dont know about the business of jacking the engine up to get the up-pipe through on a classic. I got mine through by careful rotation of the headers with the car fairly high off the ground. MY98 WRX.

Other classic issues are that the headers touch the sump, just, but I redesigned the sump (with a hammer) to stop this. The rad bracket needs cutting or bending and the wiring loom holding out of the way. Other than that they fit well. Wrap them before fitting though as spool up IS increased by doing this.

 

Can ya recomend anywhere to get wrap?

 

cas motorsport look for web page cost u a tenner plus p+p

 

got mine from www.provenproducts.co.uk

 

any idea what length i'll need to do these+downpipe?



James

 

I used a full 30 metre roll on the headers which only just covers when overlaping the wrap by half. Wet the wrap in water before using it or get a GOOD face mask!!! It has nasty fibres that easily become airborn.

The downpipe takes about 10 - 15 metres depending on cats, diameter etc.
