Morning All - I apologise first for my lack of techy knowledge and the fact that this is probably a very simple question for the majority of members.

But I drive my Impreza - don't have a bloody clue about what makes it go.

I know that the headers are cracked / holed because of A) The noise + B) A mechanic had a go at welding them up a bit when he did my oil and filter.

My few questions are:
What's the impact on the car / performance of this?
Is there any point repairing them?
And,
If I have to replace and re-fit them, could someone please help me out with what parts I actually have to buy?
(Or even give me a quote if you're in the business??)

Thanks in advance guys.

 

You will loose performance due to escaping gasses, personally i wouldn't try and weld cast, replace them with others or upgrade to tubulars, its not an quick task to remove them especially the up pipe, gdluck

 

As above.

 

Cheers guys. Managed to find a 2nd hand set of equals yesterday, supplied and fitted for £265.

Extreme Scoobies, Chelmsford. To the rescue again.

 

Good stuff with equals you loose the rumble thou

 

True Steve, but it's a matter of getting it done asap and at a fairly decent price.

They are making a racket, the car sounds awful at the mo, so I'd rather get it done and get an upgrade when money allows.

 

No worries wasnt sure if you knew that already, enjoy having some spool now!

 

Thanks for the thought mate. Booked in for next Saturday 27th.
