Do you have any photographs of the headers and uppipe? With more information I might be able to give you some help but I also need to know turbo in use and your future plans.

Hi it's a standard turbo on a 2005 wrx I don't really know what it runs as for the header it's off eBay with the flex In the up pipe and has a wire flange spacer gasket that connects it to the header???

don,t waste your money on ebay hearders etc get them from a reputable supplier ie harvey lateral performance. the ebay one,s wont last five minutes mate.

I've already got it now it looks pretty well made and has a plate stamped on it by turbo sport??? Are they a pile of s**t and not worth me wasting my time to fit it???

What's cheap I payed £140 for the headers and up pipe?? Is that right and they are toyo sport not turbo sport??? Anyone had them and had any problems???

£140 is cheap for headers and uppipe think i payed £139 for harveys uppipe alone but worth the money

Ricky : Before you fit these headers I suggest you time your car on a level piece of road, with a stopwatch, say 1800-6000 rpm. Do the same when the headers are fitted and share the knowledge with us. Even if there is a marginal improvement and that is not certain, headers with wire flexis rarely last long and headers AND uppipe for £140, I would guess the material is thin. It is certainly not quality stainless and will crack in short order.

All that said a standard turbo WRX will struggle to get into the 280s with all supporting mods so tubular headers are a bad choice. Ported headers, DEI heat wrapped, matched uppipe £369 exchange and you will get best gains.

I've seen few cracked after few hundred miles or less,not worth.

Its not wise fit these and pay again after 100 miles.Really its not economically at all.
