do they make much difference to power, spool up etc? do they fit on to a td04?

*matthewturb2000*

iTrader: (11)

they make slightly more power and spool ups better, they were fitted to a 1999 uk2000 with a td06 fitted but I think the join is the same on all the td exhaust housing , the spool is good on the 04 with standard headers so should make a good difference, I was gonna put them on my car but I got a Set of dead eaquall headers so these are spare

They have a flexi in them so stay away from them. headers and not really required until the 400bhp mark, below that ported std header are fine, plus you'll need a remap on ported or uprated.

Have a read of this tread

OEM headers are OK for the TD04 The small turbo does not flow a lot of air so unless you are changing the Turbo I'd look for power gains elsewhere......

All IMHO

As above dont buy headers with an up-pipe flexi joint

cheers for the advice think ill spend the money on a new fuel pump instead, are the swrd 255's as good as the walbro's?

What's wrong with flexi joints most cars have them I got a set of headers to go on mine with a turbo upgrade, they have a flexi in them at the turbo end of the up pipe..

Why do you want a new fuel pump? are you having the car remapped?

Flexi joints in the up-pipes are a common weak link and tend to blow quite early in the life of the headers

Yes lots of cars have flexi's in the exhaust. They dont seen to stand up to the extreme heat of the up pipe

i will be getting an ecu and remap in the future plus my cars done about 130000 miles so thought it would be a good idea

Getting an ecu ???

Why do you want a new ecu ?

What car do you have.

My headers have a dodgy shape join (headers to up pipe) I got a haywood&Scot up pipe on at mo don't think it will fit my other headers, out of interest anyone heard of ignition motorsport near reading that's where I got them he told me they were good (the headers he sold me)

Well he wouldn't tell you they were crap if he was selling them to you would he

I would say flex joints in 304 crap stainless headers would help prolong the life of the header personally, the less flexing a crappy 304 manifold has to do the better!

ahhh you know ...im a trusting person plus i went to his workshop to pick them up seemed a nice guy with a carpark full of imprezas and a couple escort cossies,and a proper rally impreza, go on facebook ' ignition motorsport' ,
can i txt you a pic see what you think there 2 pipes at the 1st join , then 2 pipes going into one on the up pipe, also some one said something about my sump not fitting (the headers not fitting around it) too that wasnt through scoobynet though
