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.

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.
