many thanks

Avoid flexy jointed items, and two-bolt manifold to up-pipe version.

AFAIK most of them come out of the same factory, with different "names" on them.

I used Mark at Lateral Performance as he did the best "package" price at the time. He's a helpfull bloke if you need advice.

HTH

nice one il give them a try cheers dunx

 

You could also try Harvey. Check out the dealers thread in the market place section here on Scoobynet for his details.

As mentioned you want the 3 bolt type and if you have the cash splash it on getting the up-pipe and headers ceramic coated . Tracktive Solutions and TSL do the slightly unequal length tubular headers with 3 bolt up-pipe ceramic coated for approx £830 but it is .

 

GT Spec II are quite a popular choice as well

 

Is there much difference between GT Spec II, Harveys, Lateral's etc?

 

Harvey claims a better "bang per buck", but I'm biased !

LOL

dunx

P.S. Oi, Nath you coming to a WYIOC meet anytime soon ?

 

What have you got Dunx?

Tubular ones from Lateral are £489 inc VAT, and Harveys are £514 plus wrapping....

try andy at scoobyteknix he supplies the same ones, and if i remember they are a little cheaper too.

 

gt spec 2 for me

 

Oh yeah dunx!!

bigarf, looks like on scoobyteknix, he sells flexi up-pipes.......which I've heard aren't up to the job.

 

no i got a set of headers from scooby teknix and they were the same 3 bolt ones as a lot of the other tuners use.best to just give him a call as he could stock afew different types.a pic of the ones a got off him.

 

look just like mine.....except mine are an oily white colour !

LOL

dunx

 

Yeah, that looks more like it Bigarf! How much were they mate?

 

he actually swopped me for some i had bought in error.but i'm pretty sure he said they were in the 300's.best just giving him a call to make sure as prices are changing all the time.

 

cheers all think il go to lateral sounds like the best option for me and whens the next meet dunx would love to attend it

Advice: theyre manifolds so call them manifolds.

 

I have the Tracktive GT Spec II replicas,ceramic coated. Dog's dangly bits thery are
Look in my scooby for a crap photo of it, also showing the lovely coolant leakage before i got my new rad as well last week! LOL.

 

LOL

P.S. See WYIOC section on S'net as the mid-month is at The Ship Inn Mirfield around the 12th of feb.

 

chrisdicko :
Just where did you get this price??? ABSOLUTE RUBBISH.

Ported O/E headers and matched up-pipe, purpose designed, stainless steel, slip jointed, new Subaru studs and DEI heat wrapped is £369. Overnight delivery is £12.50 or we will fit for you for £75 if required.
In performance terms, probably the best choice on all cars up to 420-430 bhp bracket.

I need to know the turbo and future power asirations at time of ordering.

I also sell GT Spec type as photographed above. Recommended for around 450 bhp and above. PRICE IS £350. Overnight delivery is £12.50 or we will fit for £75 fixed price. These can be DEI heat wrapped for £95 or I can supply a roll of wrap 50'x2" for £45 and enjoy wrapping yourself.

Everything in stock and ready to go today.

I also have a new tubular header set, small bore, £300 and another new header set and up-pipe £225 origin uncertain.

Very, very unhelpful when people post wrong prices.

 

from a PM you sent me:

This adds up to £514

 

Harvey has PM'd me, and explained things, as I mis-understood what he mean't about the up-pipe.
You do get an up-pipe with the Tubular Headers, and the £139 pipe is an additional one depending on the power your are running!

So apologise for the confusion on my part

 

Cheers Chris. To Clarify, the current price for the tubular header set inclusive of up-pipe supplied is £350.
As most peole realise the large diameter up-pipe slugs spool badly and does not produce maximum power on mid range turbos. To improve spool, response and power on these applications, I have produced a purpose designed three bolt up-pipe. DEI wrapped complete with studs etc £139.

 

are there any gains to be had from fitting some new headers to my 2001 bugeye wrx, no turbo upgrade,just standard,with full decat turbo back and ecutek map... or is it pointless

 

I have a vested interest but even on a standard car you will get quite noticable gains from properly ported headers and purpose designed up-pipe.
The normal modding sequence is a performance exhaust, full decat turbo back followed by ported headers and up-pipe.
Loads of people fitting ported headers can confirm their findings. It also holds you in good stead for future mods.

 

https://www.scoobynet.com/dealer-thi...t-warning.html

 

do you have any figures on what ide get if i was to fit ported headers and matching up pipe to my bug wrx..turbo back decat. its running 255/244 at the moment (uk spec)

 

I had Harveys ported OEM headers,matched up pipe and de cat downpipe fitted last month and it totally transformed my car
The difference is very noticeable in performance and the all round drivability is greatly improved.Highly reccommended

 

Thanks for that.

I cannot say you will get a particular torque or BHP gain or you will spool to 1 bar 'x' RPM earlier. Every installation is different.
You will notice a difference from the driving seat immediately and after doing the turbo back exhaust, this is the next progression that will hold you in very good stead for future mods all the way past 400 bhp.
Just to add, nobody that has fitted my headers and up-pipe set has ever come back to say they could not feel a worthwhile gain.
