m sprank Posted June 12, 2010 Share Posted June 12, 2010 I hear negative things about the uppipe. Flex section is cheap with no internal lining. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SubaruFanatic Posted June 13, 2010 Share Posted June 13, 2010 in other words just dont buy them my buddy got 50 dollar ebay headers that worked fine and his up pipe wasn't a flex joint Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m sprank Posted June 14, 2010 Share Posted June 14, 2010 I have installed two sets of eBay headers and three eBay uppipes. All fit fine with a Grimmspeed 2x thick gasket. $30 uppipe, $40 header and $20 gasket make a great deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They needed some persuasion to go on but finally got it. He's got the EZR DP also with GMS CBE it sounds so good I want to change out my catted DP for the EZR. NOTE. His ebay headers came with a non flex joint up pipe btw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B-BGTLimited Posted June 14, 2010 Share Posted June 14, 2010 Which e-bay versions are coming with the non flex joint up pipe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m sprank Posted June 14, 2010 Share Posted June 14, 2010 M2 is the brand that makes them. Meng Header is the manufacturing Plant in China. Many sellers on eBay pushing the product. So many that M2 now has a website, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B-BGTLimited Posted June 14, 2010 Share Posted June 14, 2010 They must be listed weird because I can't find that brand tagged on anything listed on ebay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B-BGTLimited Posted June 14, 2010 Share Posted June 14, 2010 Ok, if you talking about EL that explains it. I wasn't looking at those since I'm not about to sacrifice my boxer rumble quite yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m sprank Posted June 14, 2010 Share Posted June 14, 2010 I bought EL and UEL. The EL are on my dads car. No dyno or before after because I installed the headers, uppipe, and downpipe all at the same time. The UEL are on LALGT's car. I also installed these with the uppipe and downpipe. No before/after. But from the results of his tune looks like they were good for a few extra torque. They were not listed as M2. Thats just who makes them. Almost all of them are made by Meng Header. Meng is the largest producer of exhaust manifolds in the world. Here is a link to a thread I started about the headers and uppipe. http://legacygt.com/forums/showthread.php/bought-header-ebay-thoughtsi-126076.html?t=126076 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

m sprank Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 ^ That looks just like what my UEL set up looked like, I just bought them separately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SubaruFanatic Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 they worked and they were cheap and almost identical to the DC sport headers that i bought for over 300 dollars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
