Just A Quickie, Has Anyone Out There Purchased/ Run A Car With Equal Length Headers?
Read Different Reports Some Boast Of Significant Power Gains, Others Saying Waste Of Money, Any Comments? |
Yup, my new scoob has equal length headers, more power but less flat 4 burble (its standard on my new car btw)

Power gains > YES (with remap better), Early spool up > BIG NO!

Scoobmeister,
I have run a car on the rollers before and after fitting obx equal length headers. Have the print outs to prove. Car made 20bhp more and 3 lb-ft more with headers. It makes the car sound more throaty and have completely lost any sign of flat four sound. IMO a good mod. |
Dont waste your money unless your car is highly tuned. I had one fitted and the torque went down by 10 lb/ft. Also totally lost the subaru sound.

Agree with trout2 ; I have a recently imported STi with equal length on and it feels really odd. No 'Subaru'engine noise and a radically altered power band. It is chipped and it does go like hell just doesn't drive like I expected it to.

If I knew what I no now, the only mods that I would do for maximum performance and minimum cost is:
1) Decat Exhaust 2) K&N Flat Panel Filter For more power you will need to remap the ECU For track day use: 3) Up Rate Springs/shocks 4) Bump Steer 5) AP Racing front brake Kit 6) High Pressure pump & Swirl Pot |
