Twin scroll
In my pursuit to find an exhaust for my 2003 WRX i have sort of managed to work out, downpipe, up-pipe etc but have now come across a new term in my research...twin scroll? i wish buying an exhaust was easier, anyone let me know what this is, do i have it or do i need it :-)
many thanks in advance

Means simply that the turbo exhaust housing has two separate inlets instead of one. This, as long as the manifold is designed to suit, results in the exhaust gas pulses from adjacent firing cylinders being kept separate right up until they hit the exhaust wheel.
Compare this with the "classic" design of Subaru exhaust manifold in which gas from cylinders 2 and 4 is combined right under the head before running across the front of the engine in the single link pipe. Flow from #1 and #3 also combines before branching into the flow from the link and heading up to the turbo. All those branches create opportunity for the exhaust (or a percentage of it) taking a "wrong turn" or for adjacent pulses to otherwise interfere with each other rather than flowing efficiently up to the turbo.
The Subaru twin scroll design effectively only has one branch in it, rather than the three of the "classic" manifold. It is, in most of the ways that count, simply more efficient.
Milamber's summary works, too, mind.
