Default GX manifold

hi found this stanless mani on ebay http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/SUBARU-IMPREZA-NON-TURBO-NA-1-8-GL-GX-1993-2005-STAINLESS-STEEL-EXHAUST-MANIFOLD-/350438568117?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM& fits=Model%3AImpreza&hash=item5197c430b5

to fit my gx sport would this make any difference or not, i remember i fitted a 4-2-1 to my old saxo vtr lol and i could feel a slight difference felt more free, just wondering if its worth it or not.

cheer

doubt you would gain anything performance wise. It'l be worth it though as it will sound more like a turbo as its unequal in length (give you the off beat rumble that your missing at the moment).

search borla uel before and after vids on youtube.

pretty sure it doesn't, some old generations of the legacy do as people normally swap them onto the n/a Imprezas instead of the tubular one.

you'd know if your car had UEL already by the sound!

Mine fitted perfectly back in the day on my sport, sound made a huge difference to the car too.

There's a page on Facebook called Impreza Sport club. There were a couple of Sports being broken on there that had UEL manifolds for sale. It's also a helpful page for any questions or problems you have with your Sport too.
