Default Gruppe-S Engineering Header - 250 GBP Shipped!

Hey all,

We've also got our own header that works great for your EJ205. Quality is very high and fitment is good. For the price, it can't be touched. Our manifold features T304 Stainless Steel piping, mandrel bends, and CNC precision cut flanges. The 4-1 collector is cast to ensure the smoothest possible low rates. Strong gains in both HP and torque can be expected with the addition of the manifold (yes it will actually make power!!!), especially with high horsepower applications. Includes all necessary gaskets.




$450 USD shipped.



V2 Manifold + Helix Flex Uppipe:





$600 USD shipped.




We would like to get at least 5 buyers for this price. If interested, please PM or email.




Thanks,

Max

Any particular reason no one is interested in these? Questions? Concerns? Would dyno charts help?

Thanks,

Geoff

Import duty and taxes on top of the initial outlay maybe.
Still a great price though TBH.

Some people have concerns about cracking/splitting etc. Also should or shouldn't these be heat wrapped?

Understood. Thanks! For the quality and fitment of the header, that price is amazing.

We have sold hundreds of these headers in the US and only one has cracked because it was Jethot coated. We stand behind our products and would be more than willing to replace any product that you buy from us if it was defective. Our extensive dyno testing has shown that these headers will benefit from being wrapped.

We could do our header with the Helix uppipe for 360 GBP shipped. Quality and fitment are very good on this unit too but it's currently out of stock. We expect to have more in about 2 weeks. Here's a pic of the uppipe:



If you have any more questions, please do not hesistate to PM or post.

Thanks!

yeah if you're running 500bhp then you'll lose out on a couple of bhp... the sound outweighs the marginal differences in power IMO

Stiver3 - The manifolds are non-equal length, so the boxer sound is retained

fiestaboy - The customs value is the insuraed value.. that's all we can say. We haven't had any lost/damaged packages yet though

Thanks,

Geoff

Helix Flex uppipes are back in stock now! :-D

beanybens - They do in fact fit the GC8 chassis Impreza's with no issues

new boy - Yes the manifold will fit with a Gruppe-S uppipe

Brother_Will - Was there anything specific you were looking for?


Thanks

Can you describe how the note changes with these headers?

Normally with any manifold upgrade, be it equal or unequal length, you dont loose the Scooby burble which really happens at lower revs, upper revs you do but then it sounds like a super bike.

Max, how much shipped to the UK with the flexi up-pipe? Anyone know how much import and vat we're likely to pay?
