JonLGT Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 Sorry about the delays guys. I've had a couple other projects occupying my time, so the headers have on the back burner for the last month. I should be getting a production run started soon. Have these been dyno tested? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boostjunkie Posted January 13, 2008 Author Share Posted January 13, 2008 Some me installed pics of the headers on an LGT. Thanks to awdg35killer for letting me use his car as a test mule. The headers fit extremely well. Pretty much dropped in like a glove. No clearance issues anywhere. Even the stock undertray fits fine. I did leave off the oil filter door just to take away any chance of it melting. No dyno results yet since I we had another car on going on the dyno at the same time, but we'll see if that can be worked in next week. Here are the pics: http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y207/Pisadong/DSCF0671.jpg http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y207/Pisadong/DSCF0677.jpg http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y207/Pisadong/DSCF0675.jpg http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y207/Pisadong/DSCF0674.jpg http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y207/Pisadong/DSCF0679.jpg http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y207/Pisadong/DSCF0682.jpg http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y207/Pisadong/DSCF0681.jpg And since everyone wants to know how EL headers change the sound, here are sound clips with and without the EL headers with the new Megan Racing single tip (on each muffler) catback.

Boostjunkie Posted January 15, 2008 Author Share Posted January 15, 2008 That sounds killer! Any cats on the car? Nope. awdG35killer's car is catless. Even so, at idle the car was really quiet and it sounded great on the road as well. No drone, a nice deep, smooth tone and no Honda swarm of bees awdG35killer should be posting up his driving impressions soon, but he must like it since he told me that he definite wants one when I get them in. I believe he mentioned that the power delivery was smoother and the turbo seemed to spool up quicker too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

awdG35killer Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 Catless Invidia UP/DP MR catback (dual tip) AVO panel Filter this is all compared to the stock header of course... yes you do lose most of the boxer rumble. things quiet down in the engine bay at idle and WOT. theres minimal to no droning on the freeways. girls used to complain of the noise in my car but over the weekend they noticed it was better in cabin and out of the car i can say its no honda rice sound. as the valet guy drove off, all i could hear was the deep, low rumble of the MR catback. in cabin i could hear phone convos and my music better since all you can hear from the engine bay is spool and air thru the intake and the BOV. the thing feels great. definitely more power. im protuned but at times acceleration and partial throttle gets a little jolty/jumpy. both noticeably smoothed out with this on. we didnt get to dyno and compare my old chart to a new one but spool comes a BIT faster than usual. well, now im left again with the nasty chunk of crap subaru calls a header thanks again for lettin me test it out Paul and HURRY UP! i dont wanna have new-car-part-blueballs forever!!!

mustang killer Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 i wonder how these headers would sound with the stock mufflers on? also, what do u think would get the most gains: MR un-equal length header with aftermarket mufflers or MR equal-length header with stock mufflers i just dont want the ricer sound Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

captainmorgan Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 Will you be offering options for the EGT bung? Either not include it or maybe place it closer to an exhaust port like #3? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boostjunkie Posted January 23, 2008 Author Share Posted January 23, 2008 HARSH! How's the OEM plastic undertray holding up with the headers? I repo-ed the headers from Erwin. He had them for a few days. When I pulled them off the plastic undertray was 100% perfect. No melting or distortion at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No melting or distortion at all. Groovy. Thanks for the update. Paul, I seem to remember that you stated that coatings will not be an option for your EL header. Would you suggest exhaust wrap? As of right now, I'm narrowing down my exhaust setup prior to going "bigger" on the snail side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boostjunkie Posted January 23, 2008 Author Share Posted January 23, 2008 I just had some bad luck with coatings in the past, so I won't be offering them. You are welcome to get them coated on your own, but that will void your warranty. The same goes for wrapping. Frankly though, you really don't need to wrap or coat. It really doesn't make much of a difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yamie700 Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 Subscribing. My wife complains about drone on the freeway at about 75mph (I have UP/catted DP, x02 CB). If this would help reduce drone in the wagon, plus increase power, and stock plastic tray is fine, I may be in. Looking forward to dyno result of stock turbo, stock manifold vs. EL.
